 SCT performed (compared to not performed)0.118 (0.035–0.399)0.001Good

Note: values were adjusted with FLT3 ITD mutation status, age, BM blast percentage, and stem cell transplantation performance status (in all 67 patients*).
FLT3: fms-related tyrosine kinase 3; ITD: internal tandem duplications; DNMT3A: DNA methyltransferase 3A; R: arginine; BM: bone marrow; SCT: stem cell transplantation; HR: hazard ratio; CI: confidence interval; NS: not significant.
