(a) Cumulative hospitalization-free rate of patients whose treatment was not changed (n = 86). Two patients with LS < 264 and eight patients with LS ≥ 264 were hospitalized during the study period. LS < 264 cases (blue line) showed significantly higher hospitalization-free rates than LS ≥ 264 cases (red line; P < 0.001). (b) Cumulative clinical relapse-free rate of patients whose treatment was not changed (n = 92). LS < 264 (blue line) showed significantly higher clinical relapse-free rates than LS ≥ 264 (red line; P < 0.001) (Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test). Five patients with LS < 264 and 12 patients with LS ≥ 264 had clinical relapse during the study period.
