Distribution of spleen size and density and lung involvement scores between groups.

		Group 1 [n = 31]	Group 2 [n = 36]	Group 3 [n = 24]	p
Spleen diameter[mm][mean ± SD]	Initial CT	113.2 ± 18.8	115.5 ± 19.1	110.2 ± 19.2	0.571
	Last CT	108 ± 19.2	105.2 ± 19.2	98.9 ± 17.7	0.208
Diameter difference [mm] [median[min/max]]		5[–7/14]	9.5[–7/45]	12[–9/22]	0.001*
Spleen density [Hounsfield unit][mean ± SD]	Initial CT	47.1 ± 5.6	46.8 ± 5.9	48.8 ± 5.3	0.378
	Last CT	47.9 ± 5.1	49.4 ± 5.2	49.1 ± 5.5	0.499
Lung involvement degree [0–20] [median[min/max]]	Initial CT	4[1/14]	5[1/19]	5[1/20]	0.641
	Last CT	4[0/11]	5[0/17]	3[0/15]	0.195

*Diameter difference = Spleen diameter [initial CT] – spleen diameter [last CT].
