Using the Gray test with allogeneic BMT in first CR and death in first CR considered as competing events.

Using the log-rank test with patients receiving allogeneic BMT in first CR censored at BMT time.

Using the log-rank test with patients receiving allogeneic BMT in first CR not censored at BMT time.
