Trends in the percentage of children who can be considered cured of their leukaemia and the average time since diagnosis at which cure can reasonably be declared provide an additional approach to evaluating the long-term outcome of leukaemia.
The average time since diagnosis at which cure can reasonably be declared is sensitive both to the sample size and to the (arbitrary) percentage of 'fatal' cases still alive that is used to determine the average time of cure.
The average duration of time since diagnosis at which cure can reasonably be declared has increased from 12 years (95% CI: 11 14) to 19 years (95% CI: 14 26) for lymphoid leukaemia (average annual increase of 0.3 years; P<0.001), but remained at about 5 years for ANLL.
