  1. Data are expressed as n (%) or median (25th–75th percentile). Group S patients received general anesthesia with sevoflurane and group P received propofol. Residual blasts: number of patients in whom leukemic blast counts in peripheral blood on day 8 following prednisone chemotherapy were > 0/μL. Blast count: leukemic blast cell count in peripheral blood on day 8 following prednisone chemotherapy
  2. OR odds ratio, CI confidence interval
