A Tentative Staging of Multiple Myeloma by Utilizing Respective Coefficients of Prognostic Factors
Introduction: Multiple myeloma is a heterogeneous disease with different survival times among patients. Accurate prediction of prognosis in multiple myeloma is essential, as patients with a shorter survival time may require early bone marrow transplantation (BMT) and more advanced chemotherapy as a part of their first-line treatment. In the present study, a parameter, depicted by ga...

متن کاملMyeloma prognostic index at diagnosis might be a prognostic marker in patients newly diagnosed with multiple myeloma
BACKGROUND/AIMS The aims of this study were to identify the value of inflammatory markers as pretreatment prognostic factors for patients with multiple myeloma (MM) and to estimate the value of a prognostic index including these markers at diagnosis. METHODS A total of 273 newly diagnosed MM patients undergoing active treatment were analyzed in this study. The prognostic values for survival o...
متن کاملPrognostic factors in multiple myeloma.
All patients with multiple myeloma seen over a 9-year period at Tygerberg Hospital were studied retrospectively. Presentation data of 144 patients, as well as individual laboratory results were included in the survival analysis. Cox's proportional hazard model (a non-parametric multivariate regression method) was used to predict survival and divide patients into prognostic groups. The relations...
متن کاملA concise revised Myeloma Comorbidity Index as a valid prognostic instrument in a large cohort of 801 multiple myeloma patients
With growing numbers of elderly multiple myeloma patients, reliable tools to assess their vulnerability are required. The objective of the analysis herein was to develop and validate an easy to use myeloma risk score (revised Myeloma Comorbidity Index) that allows for risk prediction of overall survival and progression-free survival differences in a large patient cohort. We conducted a comprehe...
