Percentages are calculated using the total number of patients for whom data on ECOG performance status are available as the denominator. ECOG performance status is defined as: 0, fully active; 1, restricted strenuous activity; 2, ambulatory and capable of all self-care, no work; 3, capable of only limited self-care; 4, completely disabled.

Sokal score categories; low-risk: Sokal score <0.8; intermediate-risk: Sokal score 0.8–1.2; high-risk: >1.2.

Hasford score categories; low-risk: Hasford score ≤780); intermediate-risk: Hasford score >780–≤1480; high-risk: Hasford score >1480.

ECOG: Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group; IQR: interquartile range; Pro: prospective; Retro: retrospective; TKI: tyrosine kinase inhibitor.
