a

Treatment failure defined as without morphologic remission (<5% BM blasts, resolution of extramedullary disease) by the end of induction intensification.

b

Combined relapse defined as M2 or M3 marrow at any point after achieving remission with concomitant extramedullary relapse.

c

Includes two patients who died shortly after going off protocol therapy.
