Abstract
Analyses on the prognostic impact of cellular markers in chronic lymphocytic leukaemia is hampered by the strong influence of age on survival. We have therefore used a ratio between the observed survival (or observation time) and the expected survival of age‐ and sex‐matched healthy Swedes to eliminate the age dependence. Log rank analysis of the observed/expected survival time ratio demonstrated that CLL‐patients with trisomy 12 had a poorer age‐corrected survival than other patients.Keywords
