Assess risk of progression to AML and early mortality in CMML
CMML is a stem cell disorder with heterogeneous clinical and pathologic features, often sharing characteristics of both myelodysplastic and myeloproliferative disorders. This study of 235 individuals registered in a German MDS Registry determined prognostic findings associated with overall survival and transformation to acute myeloid leukemia, specific to CMML. The authors identified 4 factors that were able to differentiate patients into 3 risk categories with expectant median survivals ranging from 11 months to 93 months. An alternative scoring system (from the Spanish Registry) is an option when cytogenetic studies are available.
