Data are number/total number (%) or median (25th-75th percentile) unless otherwise specified.

IGHV indicates immunoglobulin heavy chain variable genes; FISH, fluorescent in situ hybridization; PB, peripheral blood; Hb, hemoglobin; BM, bone marrow; B2M, beta-2-microglobulin; ALP, alkaline phosphatase; TFS, treatment free survival (measured from the date of diagnosis to date of first treatment, last follow-up or death); and OS, overall survival (measured from date of diagnosis to date of death or last follow-up).

*

Continuous variables were compared by Kruskal-Wallis test; categorical variables were compared by χ2 test; TFS was compared by log-rank test; P value cutoff: .05.

If not otherwise specified, continuous variables are indicated as median and quartiles
