ANC, absolute neutrophil count; Hb, hemoglobin; IPSS-R, Revised International Prognostic Scoring System; RAEB, refractory anemia with excess blasts; RARS, refractory anemia with ring sideroblasts; RCMD, refractory cytopenia with multilineage dysplasia; RCMD-RS, RCMD and ring sideroblasts; RCUD, refractory cytopenia with unilineage dysplasia; WBC, white blood cell.

*

Statistically significant if P < .05.

One hundred sixty-four patients, including 78 with low lncRNA scores and 86 with high lncRNA scores, had chromosome data at diagnosis.

IPSS-R: very low, ≤1.5; low, >1.5-3; intermediate, >3-4.5; high, >4.5-6; and very high, >6.
