Figure 3
Kaplan-Meier curves for the defined recurrence after the modified PR status: there were 83 MG patients that achieved the modified PR status during followup (preoperative steroid, 56, no preoperative steroid, 27) without censure. These MG patients in the no preoperative steroid treatment group (broken line) exhibited a significantly higher rate of the defined recurrence than those in the preoperative steroid treatment group (solid line) (log-rank test, ). Vertical bars indicate censured data.
