Significance level (p value) of the univariate survival analysis (Kaplan-Meier method, log rank test) with the different clinicopathological features used as selecting variable
| Selecting variable | All cases (n=109) | LG+HG (n=65) | DLCL (n=44) |
|---|---|---|---|
| If not specified in brackets, the significance level of the test between the survival curves is larger than 25%. DLCL, diffuse large cell lymphoma; LG+HG, low grade component mixed with variable proportions of confluent sheets of blastic cells outside the follicles; NS, not significant. | |||
