  1. ANC acute neutrophil count, LDH lactate dehydrogenase
  2. aRisk stratification was performed according to IPSS-R and if not available to IPSS (lower-risk = low and intermediate-1 risk according to IPSS and very low and low-risk according to IPSS-R; higher-risk = intermediate-2 and high-risk according to IPSS and Intermediate, high and very-high according to IPSS-R)
