— indicates reference group; LDH, lactate dehydrogenase; and TBI, total body irradiation.

*

Allogeneic versus autologous purged transplantation (RR, 0.63; 95% CI, 0.41-0.97; P < .03).

Early disease indicates complete remission (1st or 2nd) or relapse (1st); advanced disease, complete remission (3rd) or relapse (> 2nd) or primary induction failure.

Determined by 2-degree of freedom test.
