Odds ratios >1 indicate better outcome

N1 = number alive; N2 = number evaluable

Group 1 : automated processing, units were plasma and red blood cell reduced or buffy coat production method

Group 2 : manual processing, units were plasma and red blood cell reduced or buffy coat production method

Group 3 : manual processing, units were plasma reduced

Early risk = patients in first complete remission / refractory anemia

Intermediate risk = patients in second complete remission

Advanced = patients in relapse / refractory anemia with excess blasts
