Fig. 1From: Effect of invasive aspergillosis on risk for different causes of death in older patients with acute myeloid leukaemia or high-risk myelodysplastic syndromeCumulative incidence of different causes of death. The cumulative incidence of an event is displayed graphically as the plot of the cumulative incidence function. It displays the probability that a specific event (death due to leukaemia, infection and other cause of death (COD) or miscellaneous) has occurred by a specific time. Other COD included the CODs: leukaemia in combination with: infection (n = 8), infection and haemorrhage (n = 2), infection and multi organ failure (n = 1), haemorrhage (n = 2), pneumonitis (n = 2), cardiac disease (n = 2), respiratory insufficiency and pneumonitis (n = 1), respiratory and cardiac insufficiency (n = 1), pulmonary embolism (n = 1) or ileus (n = 1), and infection, renal failure and haemorrhage (n = 1), multiorgan failure (n = 8), liver failure (n = 1), renal failure (n = 1), cardiac disease (n = 14), respiratory insufficiency (n = 4), cardiac disease and haemorrhage (n = 1), acute respiratory distress syndrome (n = 2), graft versus host disease (n = 2), encephalopathy (n = 2), cerebrovascular accident (n = 3), pulmonary embolism (n = 2), ileitis (n = 1), hypoxic brain damage (n = 1), progressive supranuclear paralysis (n = 1), subdural bleeding (n = 1), progressive degeneration of general state (n = 1), euthanasia (n = 2) and suicide (n = 1). Miscellaneous included the CODs: pneumonitis, haemorrhage, veno-occlusive disease, secondary malignancy and unknownBack to article page
