Survival of patients according to the scoring system in the training series.

(A) Overall scoring system (based on age, total number of cytopenias, and serum albumin; log rank = 60.72;P < .0001). The line of alternating dashes and dots indicates low risk (27% of patients; 54% died); the solid line, intermediate risk (27% of patients; 74% died), and the dashed line, high risk (46% of patients; 89% died). (B) Scoring system for patients younger than 65 years (based on total number of cytopenias; log rank = 27.07; P < .0001). The solid line indicates low risk (86% of patients; 69% died), and the dashed line, high risk (14% of patients; 89% died). (C) Scoring system for patients 65 years and older (based on total number of cytopenias and serum albumin; log rank = 26.34; P < .0001). The line of alternating dashes and dots indicates low risk (12% of patients; 43% died); the solid line, intermediate risk (23% of patients; 64% died); and the dashed line, high risk (65% of patients; 91% died).
