What was measured

Bone marrow MRD status is defined as positive with \>= 0.1 detectable leukemia cells, and negative with \< 0.1 detectable leukemia cells.

Analysis population: Groups "Prednisone Capizzi MTX (Down's Syndrome)", "Dexamethasone, Capizzi MTX (non-random)" \& "Prednisone and High Dose MTX (non-random) are not included in this OM as no patients survived the 5 year window for analysis. Cohort of MRD Positive patients who either had EFS/OS events occur before 5 years or did not have minimum 5 years of follow-up.
