Since few studies focus on prognostic factors in unselected elderly acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients, a retrospective analysis of 138 consecutive patients aged >55 years (median age: 67, range: 56-89) with AML diagnosed at a single center over an 8-year period was performed: 69% had de novo AML and 31% secondary (s) AML; 67% of the patients were karyotyped.
