  1. aThe comparator group is the low-risk SMM patients.
  2. bGiven the limited sample size of IMWG 2020 high-risk patients over time (n = 9 at baseline, n = 15 at the 1 year landmark, n = 9 at the 2-year landmark, n = 7 a the 3-year landmark, n = 8 at the 4-year landmark), the intermediate and high risk IMWG 2020 groups were combined.
