Table 1 |. Univariable and multivariable analysis for overall survival in the biological validation cohort.

An univariable analysis including age at diagnosis, platelet count at diagnosis, XGBoost Cluster, MethylSeq Cluster, somatic PTPN11 mutations, sex, number of somatic mutations and HbF status was conducted for predictors of overall survival (OS). P-values lower than 0.05 were considered as statistically significant. A multivariable analysis including the significant features was calculated thereafter including either the XGBoost or MethylSeq methylation cluster assignments. (N = Number of pts; HR = Hazard ratio; CI = Confidence interval).
