There were missing values for mass size: NLPHL n = 3, CHL n = 4; spleen involvement: NLPHL n = 1; PS: NLPHL n = 1, CHL n = 2; elevated LDH: NLPHL n = 7, CHL n = 18; IPS score: NLPHL n = 5; CHL n = 11.
IPS, International Prognostic Score; LDH, lactate dehydrogenase.
Matching was performed for 42 NLPHL patients.
