Predictors of response and of relapse-free survival in patients treated with thrombopoietin analogs (TPOa). (A) Percentage of responders and non-responders according to bone marrow features or previous treatment. (B) Relapse-free survival (months) by Kaplan-Meyer method according to bone marrow megakaryocytes, lymphoid infiltrate, and reticulinic fibrosis. The following hazard ratios emerged: 2.58 (95%CI: 0.61-10.8) for T-cell infiltrate and 4.24 (95%CI: 1.38-13) for mixed infiltrate versus no or B-cell infiltrate, and 1.82 (95%CI: 0.68-4.86) for bone marrow fibrosis grade 1 (MF1).
