Comparison of cumulative numbers of involved organs per-patient and their prognostic stages. Patient clinical prognosis was assigned into 5 stages, namely 1) no medication, 2) well-controlled, 3) limited responses, 4) progressive disease courses, and 5) death. We assessed the relationship between cumulative numbers of involved organs per-patient and their prognostic stages. We found that the numbers of involved organs per-patient increased along with the prognosis stages. A box plot of each subgroup of RP patients and a regression line were indicated
