- A refined definition is proposed to identify acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients ineligible for intensive therapy, termed the Integrated Comorbidity-ECOG-Age criteria.

- It aims to guide treatment decisions towards less-intensive therapies for unfit patients, aligning with evolving guidelines and genetic risk classifications.
