title: Predictive models for achievement of complete remission and duration of first remission in adult acute myeloid leukemia.
abstract: Achievement of CR. Using the data of 501 patients treated identically with the TAD9 regimen we could not find any factor of predictive value besides age and state of health. The effect of FAB-M seems to be spurious as it disappeared using prospective data. Duration of Relapse-Free Survival. In patients with monthly maintenance, the maintenance overrides the possible effects of the considered factors. In patients without monthly maintenance we only found a slight effect of WBC.
