SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: from treatment initiation until treatment failure, relapse, or death

Event -Free Survival (EFS) EFS was calculated with Kaplan-Meier estimates. Event-free survival (EFS), defined as the time to no response to intensive induction therapy, relapse, or death of any cause, whichever comes first.
