Relationship between age and prevalence of death in patients with anticancer agent‐induced skin toxicity. Data are provided separately for SJS and TEN. Age groups are defined in 10‐year bands, with the last band covering patients aged above 80 years. The prevalence of death was higher among patients with TEN than among those with SJS for each age group (A). The death rate in patients aged above 80 years was significantly higher than that noted in those aged below 80 years, regardless of the type of skin toxicity (B). Abbreviations: SJS, Stevens‐Johnson syndrome; TEN, toxic epidermal necrolysis.
