The 2 patients with 11q23 translocations without known karyotype and 1 patient in the “normal cytogenetics” subgroup (not treated with curative attempt), as well as the Down syndrome AML patients, were excluded. The subgroups with less than 5 patients were not analyzed for treatment outcome (ie, t(15;17) and trisomy 8).

P, log-rank compares the 3-year probability of event-free survival (pEFS) of that particular cytogenetic subgroup versus the complementary AML group.

n indicates number of patients included in the analysis; CI, confidence interval.
