Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) comprises many serious hematologic malignancies from lymphocytes. The incidence of NHL is 5.1 per 100,000, with a mortality rate of 2.5 per 100,000 worldwide. However, the causes of death among patients with NHL vary. This retrospective cohort study aimed to elucidate the primary causes and specific risk factors for NHL.
