Abbreviations: IPI, International Prognostic Index; LDH, lactate dehydrogenase; †ECOG PS, ranging from 0 to 4, where a higher score indicates greater impairment. ‡ IPI score, ranging from 0 to 5, where 0 indicates the absence of prognostic factors, and 5 indicates the presence of all prognostic factors. The IPI score was stratified by the proposed RIPI score.
