Remarks

BMT of nov. 1987, survey 5 years later. Ages at transplant 9-50 years, age at follow-up 18-53 years. As all patients were more than 18 years old at follow-up, patients who were 9 years old at BMT can not be 18 years old at follow-up in 1992 (or in 1994). Patients are said not to be in life threatening relaps, allthough 6 patients are in relaps during the survey, wich surely is considered to be life threatening even if some treatment for the relapse is performed. Surviving 6 month after a bone marrow transplantation cannnot considered to be real long term survival yet..
