Table 3. Fitted Bayesian log-normal survival model for overall survival (N=45).

Values in the column “Probability of a Beneficial Effect” close to either 1 or 0 correspond to a significant effect. Higher number of administered cycles of azacitidine, but not dose, was associated with improved survival.
