Sanz et al used a simple score to stratify patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APML) by risk. The score was derived by a joint study of the Spanish PETHEMA and Italian GIMEMA cooperative groups.
Patient selection: APML treated with an "AIDA-like" regimen (all-trans retinoic acid and idarubicin)
Outcome: relapse-free survival
Parameters:
(1) platelet count in 10^9/L
(2) WBC count in 10^9/L at presentation
