Kaplan Meier survival and spearman’s correlation analysis in patients with CPFE with positive and negative immunologic profile. a. Kaplan-Meier survival curve revealed a marginal statistically significant improved survival (p = 0.052) of patients with CPFE and positive ANA profile (median survival of 51 months, range 12 – 96 months) compared to those with negative immunologic profile (38 months, range 16 – 61 months) b. Spearman’s correlation analysis revealed an almost linear positive association between the number of CD20+ cells/mm2 and median survival of patients with CPFE.
