Assess the mortality and risk of progression to acute myeloid leukemia in myelodysplastic syndromes
Myelodysplastic syndromes are a group of heterogeneous diseases with different prognoses. To improve the original IPSS, the international MDS database was combined for analysis (database sample size n=7012). Prognostic risk modeling is based on multivariate analysis of patient survival time and AML transformation time.
In the revised IPSS scoring system, bone marrow cell genetics, bone marrow blast percentage, and cytopenias remain the three basic indicators, but the classification thresholds have been improved and age, patient baseline status, serum ferritin, and LDH have been added.
