Risk factors for the prognosis of secondary PAP in patients with MDS. A: Cumulative survival probability after diagnosis of secondary PAP (sPAP) in myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) cases with steroid therapy (n = 15) and in MDS cases without steroid therapy (n = 16). The horizontal axis indicates the month after the diagnosis of sPAP, and the vertical axis indicates the cumulative survival probability. The number of cases that received steroid therapy in the mild and severe MDS groups were six (46%) and nine (59%), respectively. B: Cumulative survival probability after diagnosis of secondary PAP (sPAP) in myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) cases with diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (%DLco) of <44% (n = 8) and in MDS cases with%DLco of >44% (n = 9). The horizontal axis indicates month after the diagnosis of sPAP, and the vertical axis indicates the cumulative survival probability.
