aStabilized weights were generated using the following baseline characteristics: age, sex, region, ECOG score, anemia (hemoglobin <10 g/dl), thrombocytopenia (platelet count <100 × 109/l), AdvSM subtype, skin involvement, leukocyte count of 16 × 109/l or higher, serum tryptase level of 125 ng/ml or higher, number of mutated genes within the SRSF2/ASXL1/RUNX1 gene panel.

bEffective sample size for the number of lines of therapy and number of unique patients were reported for the weighted population.

cBoth unweighted and IPTW-weighted Cox proportional hazards models with a robust sandwich variance estimator were used to model overall survival. IPTW-weighted Cox proportional hazards model further adjusted for covariates with a standardized difference of greater than 10% after weighting, using a doubly robust approach. HR and the corresponding 95% CI and p value were presented. Two-sided p value <0.05 was considered statistically significant without multiplicity adjustment.

dIPTW-weighted multivariable Cox proportional hazards model further adjusted for age, ECOG score, AdvSM subtype, and skin involvement.

eIPTW-weighted multivariable Cox proportional hazards model further adjusted for region, presence of thrombocytopenia at baseline, serum tryptase level of 125 ng/ml or higher, and prior use of tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy.
