Comparison of primary hMDS and AA-derived MDS

Clinical characteristicsPrimary hMDS, N = 24Secondary MDS due to AA, N = 10
Age (y) 56 (16-83) 59 (28-75) 
Karyotyping by MC 11 
    Normal 10 
    Abnormal 
    No growth   
IPSS*   
    Low risk (IPSS: low to int −1) 
    High risk (IPSS: Int −2 and higher) 19 
Median survival (d) 841 (37-2495) 1360 (797-3185), P = .9 
  2133 (797-3185), P = .009 
Time to progression (range) 234 (28-631) 407 (167-1683), P = .0003

MDS indicates myelodysplastic syndrome; hMDS, hypocellular MDS; AA, aplastic anemia; IPSS, International Prognostic Scoring System; and MC, metaphase cytogenetics.

*

In 3 patients, there was no growth in MC hence IPSS not available;

from diagnosis of MDS; and

from diagnosis of AA.
