HRCA is defined as presence of 1 of the following: del(17p), t4;14, or t14;16).

*

HRs and 95% CIs were derived from a multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression model; all variables in the table were included in the same model simultaneously. The interaction terms between first-line treatment and cytogenetic group as well as ASCT and cytogenetic group were not statistically significant (results not shown).
