“…Previous studies showed that numerous clinical and non-clinical predictors influence CML survival. In reviewed studies, after performing feature selection, a number of demographical and clinical manifestation variables such as age [ 27 , 31 , 39 , 40 ], sex [ 14 , 27 , 40 ], body mass index (BMI) [ 10 , 27 , 30 , 31 ], race [ 27 , 40 ], body pain [ 14 , 25 , 27 , 28 , 40 , 41 ], general malaise [ 10 , 14 , 27 , 31 , 40 ], fever [ 10 , 26 , 28 – 30 ], night sweats [ 25 , 28 – 30 , 41 ], unexplained hemorrhage [ 10 , 26 , 28 , 30 , 39 ], general infection [ 14 , 31 , 40 ], enlarged spleen [ 10 , 14 , 27 , 31 , 39 , 40 ], cachexia [ 25 , 27 , 30 , 31 ], anorexia [ 10 , 14 , 29 , 31 ], and drug resistance [ 25 , 27 – 29 , 41 ] are determined as the most important predictors affecting CML survival. Besides, neutrophil/lymphocyte count [ 10 , 14 , 25 – 27 , 29 , 31 , 39 ], lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)...…”
