N2 - We report the outcome of 27 children with de novo acute megakaryoblastic leukemia (AMKL) (excluding Down syndrome) enrolled in the French multicenter prospective study ELAM02 (2005-2011). There was no difference in gender, initial leukocyte count, CNS involvement, and complete remission rate (88.9%), as compared to other acute myeloid leukemia (AML) subtypes. AMKL patients had a significantly poorer outcome (5-year overall survival 54% [CI 95% 33%–71%] than children with other AML subtypes (5-year overall survival 73% [CI 95% 68%–77%] p = 0.02). Gender, age, CNS leukemia, hyperleukocytosis, complete remission or cytogenetic subgroups were not significant prognostic factors of disease-free survival. AMKL (excluding Down syndrom) remains an AML subgroup with inferior outcome.
