*

Bone marrow blasts were analyzed as a percentage of bone marrow nuclear cells.

Multilineage dysplasia was analyzed as uni- vs multilineage dysplasia according to WHO criteria.

RBC transfusion dependency was defined according to Malcovati et al23  and Such et al.24 

§

Cytogenetic abnormalities, absolute neutrophil count, and platelet count were categorized according to the revised international prognostic scoring system.25
