High cytogenetic risk defined as at least 1 of: del(17p) and/or TP53 mutation and/or IGHV unmutated; low cytogenetic risk defined as none of: del(17p) and/or TP53 mutation and/or IGHV unmutated; and unknown defined as at least 1 unknown test result and none of: del(17p) and/or TP53 mutation and/or IGHV unmutated.

Bulky disease is reported as documented in the electronic health records by the treating physician.
