Table 3. Univariate Cox regression analysis for MAGS-assigned clinical cohorts (GSE6891 cohort: N = 520; TCGA-cohort: N = 171) and the corresponding AML meta-cohort (N = 691) that included both clinical cohorts.

Analyses were performed for overall survival. Samples with missing survival information (TCGA cohort: N = 11) were excluded. Table columns indicate the total sample size (N), the number of patients that died (Events) per MAGS subtype, the associated hazards ration (HR), the 95% lower and upper confidence intervals (CI), and the estimated p-value (P).

a Analysis of the meta-cohort was corrected for potential batch effects by including the cohort (TCGA, GSE6891) as an independent explanatory variable.
