1 . Kaplan–Meier analyses for PFS and OS rates of AML patients.
Patients with hyperleukocytosis had a lower 10-year PFS and OS rates
than those without hyperleukocytosis (P =.041 and P =.051;
1A, 1B). There was a similar 10-year PFS and OS rates between patients
in the WBC count 50-100×109/L and WBC count
≥100×109/L subgroups (P =.507 and P =.907;
1C, 1D).
