(A) The 10 most commonly involved organs in female and male patients. (B) The organs involved were divided into superficial organs and internal organs, and the patients were classified into superficial organ involvement, internal organ involvement and both superficial and internal organ involvement. The proportion of superficial/internal organ involvement in female and male patients is presented by the bar plots and stratified according to age. The chi-square test was performed to analyse statistical significance.

Boxplots of baseline levels of (A) peripheral eosinophils, (B) ESR, (C) CRP, (D) IgG, (E) IgG1, (F) IgG4, (G) IgG4/IgG, (H) IgE and (I) the proportion of plasmablasts/plasma cells in female and male patients. The proportion of plasmablasts/plasma cells was measured in 56 patients and calculated as the proportion of CD19⁺CD24⁻CD38^hi plasmablasts/plasma cells in CD19⁺ cells.

(A) The first-line therapies for both sexes. (B) Boxplots of the IgG4-RD RI of female and male patients during follow-up. For multiple comparison, the α value was adjusted to 0.01 according to Bonferroni correction. *P < (C) Kaplan–Meier survival curve presenting the relapse-free survival of female and male patients. Relapse-free survival was defined as the period of time from the beginning of treatment to relapse. (D) Boxplots of IgG4-RD RI during follow-up in 172 propensity score–matched female and male patients. For multiple comparison, the α value was adjusted to 0.01 according to Bonferroni correction. *P < 0.01, **P < (E) Kaplan–Meier survival curve presenting the relapse-free survival of propensity score–matched female and male patients. Relapse-free survival was defined as the period of time from the beginning of treatment to relapse.
