HR indicates hazard ratio; BM, bone marrow; PB, peripheral blood; SNP-A, single nucleotide polymorphism array; and CI, confidence interval.
Three BM blasts categories according to the percentage described: < 5; 5-10; and 11-20.
Number of cytopenias categories defined as good (0-1) and poor (2-3). Cytopenias defined as hemoglobin less than 10 g/dL, absolute neutrophil count less than 1.8 × 109/L, and platelets less than 100 × 109/L.
7q LOH SNP-A category defined as good, no deletion; intermediate, monosomy 7; and poor, partial deletion involving 7q.
