Plus–minus values are means ±SD. Percentages may not total 100 because of rounding. AML-M3 denotes acute promyelocytic leukemia, FLT3 FMS-related tyrosine kinase 3, and IDH1 isocitrate dehydrogenase 1.

The P value was calculated with the use of the two-sided t-test.

Race was self-reported.

§

The P value was calculated with the use of Fisher’s exact test.

The definitions for cytogenetic risk groups are from the Medical Research Council and the Cancer and Leukemia Group B.4,5 Adequate cytogenetic data were not available for 3 of the 172 patients who did not have an IDH1 mutation.
