Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval; aHR, adjusted hazard ratio of death; ALL, acute lymphoblastic leukemia; am-ALL, antecedent malignancy ALL; IR, increased risk; s-ALL, secondary ALL.
All models accounting for sex, race/ethnicity, age at diagnosis, marital status, year of diagnosis, histology (B-cell, T-cell and not-otherwise-specified), neighborhood socioeconomic status, rural (vs urban) location.
am-ALL is defined as ALL after any prior malignancy.
s-ALL is defined as ALL occurring after IR malignancies (hematologic malignancies and salivary gland, bone and joint, breast, testis, brain, thyroid and other endocrine including thymus cancers).
Non-IR solid tumors were all malignancies not associated with an increased risk of developing ALL as a second malignancy.
