  1. CLAG-M: cladribine + cytarabine + G-CSF + mitoxantrone; FLAG-Ida: fludarabine + cytarabine + G-CSF + idarubicin; GO: gemtuzumab ozogamicin.aEpisodes at least 24 h apart were considered 2 episodes. bWhen fever and infection occurred as the same episode, the episode was considered an infection and fever was not considered separately. cPercentages are relative to the total number of episodes (N = 89). dThe cause of all readmissions was infection/fever.
