Popis: The retrospective analysis has concerned 323 patients with acute nonlymphocytic leukaemia (ANLL). The comparable patients groups were treated since 1981 according to protocols used by the Polish Acute Leukaemia Group (induction; modified TAD or Adriamycin plus Ara-C, maintenance; rotatingly changed polychemotherapy for 3 years). The prognostic value for achieving complete remission (CR) and survival of 67 pre-treatment factors (42 quantitative and 25 qualitative) was evaluated. The most important 9 parameters were scored according to the prognostic value as follows: age, proportion of blasts in bone marrow, blast count in peripheral blood, morphological subtype, percentage of granulocytes in bone marrow, proportion of blasts with CD-15 antigen, thrombocyte count, spleen/liver enlargement, protein concentration in cerebro-spinal fluid. The scoring system has been elaborated allowing selection of ANLL patients to standard risk group and a high risk group.
