Infection is an Independent Predictor of Death in Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma
Abstract To identify risk factors for infection in patients with diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) undergoing rituximab, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, adriamycin and prednisolone (R-CHOP) treatment. All patients with DLBCL who received R-CHOP from 2004–2014 in a tertiary Australian hospital wer...

All patients with DLBCL who received R-CHOP from 2004–2014 in a tertiary Australian hospital were identified and information collected from hospital admission data, laboratory results and medical record review.
