[Multivariate analysis of acute leukemia].
The outcome of chemotherapy in patients of 150 cases of acute leukemia was investigated. Patients were divided into two groups, that is group I: 100 cases of acute leukemia treated between 1980-1984, group II: 50 cases of acute leukemia between 1985-1986. Complete remission was achieved in 66% of group I and in 82% of group II. Using multivariate analysis, the initial levels of FDP and WBC count and age were found to be important factors to induce complete remission. Female sex was suggestive of a longer remission duration and survival by discrimination analysis.
