Scheme for selecting study subjects. Candidates retrospectively enrolled were 254 multiple myeloma patients who underwent FDG PET/CT for initial staging. Among them, 26 cases were excluded due to follow-up loss without completion of treatment, and 14 were excluded because they received only local treatment. An additional 6 cases were excluded from analysis because information on the R-ISS stage was unavailable, and 17 cases were excluded due to technical problems. Therefore, 191 patients were included as study subjects for analysis. R-ISS revised multiple myeloma international staging system.
