Figure 5 OS in patients with cGVHD according to NIH score plus type of onset. OS, depending on grade of severity according to the NIH scoring system plus type of onset, was 82% for patients with mild cGVHD regardless of the type of onset and patients with moderate cGVHD with de novo onset, 70% for patients with moderate cGVHD and quiescent or progressive onset, 50% for patients with severe cGVHD and de novo onset, and 25% for patients with severe cGVHD and quiescent or progressive onset.
