Group A, isolated thrombocytopenia group; Group B, bicytopenia group; Group C, pancytopenia group; HSCT, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation; OS, overall survival; PFS, progression-free survival PRAME, preferentially expressed antigen of melanoma; WT1, Wilms tumor 1.

*

Age was included in the analysis as a categorical variable on the basis of a best-split algorithm showing a statistical difference in OS between patients younger than 60 years and those aged 60 years or older (supplemental Figure 5A-B,D-E).
