Abstract
Introduction: This paper used Generalized Gamma (GG) distribution to find the predictive factors of overall survival (OS) after haematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) in acute myeloid leukemia patients.
Methods: Discrimination among the exponential, Weibull, GG, log-logistic, and lognormal distributions was done using maximum likelihood and Akaike information criteria.
Results: The 5-year OS in 301 patients was 65% (95%CI: 60.7-69.3). Peak mortality hazard occurred at months 6-7 after HSCT then, it was U Shape. The data was fitted by GG distribution better than other distributions. Univariate analysis using GG distribution showed a positive association between OS with dose of infused WBC (P=0.018), CD3 (p=0.001), no relapse (P<0.001), cGVHD (P<0.001), and platelet recovery (P<0.001). Multivariate analysis indicated that, OS has relationship with relapse (P<0.001), platelet recovery (P=0.004), disease status at transplant (P=0.036) and aGVHD (P=0.036).
Conclusion: We showed that GG distribution can be a useful tool for recognizing prognostic factors of OS in AML patients.
