Est. indicates estimated.

*

Five years after study entry.

Five years after complete remission.

Five years after start of maintenance chemotherapy (maintenance patients only).

§

Other unfavorable is defined by the presence of −7, +8, and 11q23/MLL gene rearrangements.

P values based on logistic (complete remission, resistant disease) or proportional hazards (overall survival, relapse-free survival, disease-free survival) regression analysis.

P value for heterogeneity of outcomes among four categories with evaluable karyotype.

#

P value for heterogeneity of outcomes among four ploidy categories (normal, hypodiploid, pseudodiploid, and hyperdiploid).

**

DFS was not estimated for hypodiploid (N = 2) and other (N = 0) ploidy categories.
