  1. Parameters provided with the respective data sets were first tested in univariable analyses (Supplementary Table S1); those that resulted as significant were included in the multivariable models, whose results are summarized in this table. 4-GES, 4-gene expression score; L-24, 24-gene expression signature by Li et al.16; M-7, 7-gene expression signature by Marcucci et al.19; W-3, 3-gene expression signature by Wilop et al.20; HR, hazard ratio; CI, confidence interval; GE score, gene expression score; CEBPAm, CEBPA mutation; w, wild type; m, monoallelic; b, biallelic. aAssignment to cytogenetic risk groups were included in the respective GEO entries. bAssignment to ELN risk groups was provided by T. Herold, University of Munich, Department of Internal Medicine III, Munich, Germany. No relevant patient data were provided in GSE71014; therefore, multivariable analyses could not be performed. Significant p-values and corresponding HRs and Cis are indicated in bold letters. na, score could not be calculated because 2 signature genes were not represented on HG-U133A microarrays; ns, no statistical significance found in univariable analyses, thus, no multivariable analyses were performed.
