Cumulative 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 unknown
