Age and gender adjusted Cox regression analysis model demonstrating independent prognostic properties of low albumin, low absolute lymphocyte count (ALC), and Dynamic International Prognostic Scoring System (DIPSS) in patients with myelofibrosis

Variable	HR	95% C.I. for HR	P value
Low albumin	4.61	[1.96–10.85]	0.001*
Low ALC	3.54	[1.5–8.37]	0.004*
DIPSS	2.45	[1.42–4.22]	0.001*
Age (years)	1.02	[0.98–1.07]	0.338
Male gender	0.79	[0.36–1.71]	0.548
