Time-dependent variable.

The study risk classification incorporated: morphological AML subtype, AML category, hepatosplenomegaly, WBC, FLT3 mutations, and cytogenetics. In addition to SR risk class, the modified prognostic model identified significant associations for improved CR (sHD group, P = .0008; age ≤60 years, P = .01; mutated NPM1, P < .0001), OS (HSCT, P < .0001; sHD group, P = .05; mutated NPM1, P = .0006), and RFS (HSCT, P < .0001; sHD group, P = .003; mutated NPM1, P = .007). All other factors did not reach statistical significance (P > .05).

The ELN 2010 risk stratification incorporated: cytogenetics and genetics. In addition to the favorable risk class, the modified prognostic model identified significant associations for improved CR (sHD group, P = .0004; age ≤ 60 years, P = .03), OS (HSCT, P < .0001; sHD group, P = .003; no hepatosplenomegaly, P = .009; WBC, ≤50 ×109/L, P = .02), and RFS (HSCT, P < .0001; sHD group, P = .001; no hepatosplenomegaly, P = .0002; WBC, ≤50 ×109/L, P = .02). All other factors did not reach statistical significance (P > .05).
