Seventy-two adults were treated for acute myelogenous leukaemia (AML). Forty-two had previously untreated AML and 30 had AML after a preleukaemic phase, refractory AML or relapsed AML. The previously untreated patients received a 7-day course of cytosine arabinoside (100 or 200 mg/m2 daily), daunoru

β¦ Synopsis
An experiment is described which was designed to investigate the level of variability in the assessment of bone marrow remission in Acute Myelogenous Leukaemia (AML). The inter-rater reliability and individual consistency of three haematologists at St Bartholomew's Hospital, London, are analysed using their assessments of cellularity, percent blast cells and marrow status for fifty bone marrow samples.
