| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1.Overall Survival | From date of diagnosis until the date of death or lost to follow-up, whichever came first. No administrative censoring will be applied to the retrospectively collected data, a minimum period of two months of stable disease will be required. | In \*overall survival\* two possible events are defined: * \*death\* (regarded as complete observation) * \*end of follow up\* (regarded as censored observation) Time is calculated from diagnosis to the first occurrence of one of the above listed events. |
| 2.Time to transformation | From date of diagnosis until the date of transformation,death or lost to follow-up, whichever came first. No administrative censoring will be applied to the retrospectively collected data,a minimum period of two months of stable disease will be required. | In \*time to transformation\* three possible events are defined: * \*transformation into AML\* (regarded as complete observation) * \*death without transformation\* (regarded as censored observation) * \*end of follow up\* (regarded as censored observation) Time is calculated from diagnosis to the first occurrence of one of the above listed events. In case of \*transformation into AML\* this results in a complete observation, in case of \*death without transformation\* or \*end of follow up\* the observation is treated as censored. |
