Splenectomy is a common intervention that leads to sepsis but does not prevent cytopenias. (A) Kaplan-Meier curve for time to splenectomy by severity classification (N = 150). Dashed lines show the 95% confidence bands. (B) Kaplan-Meier curve for time until first occurrence of cytopenia after splenectomy. Time to first cytopenia of any kind is shown, and time until first occurrence of anemia, neutropenia, and thrombocytopenia are shown. (C) Kaplan-Meier curve for sepsis-free survival after splenectomy (N = 66). Dashed lines show the 95% confidence bands. Total numbers are not censored and still at risk are shown below x-axis.
