In addition, ageing is associated with an increasingly high risk of developing comorbidity, and a high prevalence of comorbid diseases has indeed been reported in MDS patients. The impact of multi-morbidities/comorbidities and polypharmacy in patients with low-risk MDS patients is a poorly explored ...
1,2 Patients with MDS are classified by the International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS) into low-, intermediate-1 (int-1)–, intermediate-2 (int-2)–, and high-risk groups based on the percentage of marrow blasts, number of cytopenias, and bone marrow cytogenetic findings.3 These ...
All other patients were considered low risk (n = 6). Overall, 22 patients (42%) had failed at least one previous autologous or allogeneic HCT. Median patient age was 48 years (range, 6-65 years), and median donor age was 35 years (range, 19-58 years). The study protocol was ...
Blended physiotherapy was stratified according to the patients’ risk of developing persistent LBP using the STarT Back Screening Tool. The primary clinical outcome was physical functioning (Oswestry Disability Index version 2.1a). For the economic evaluation, quality-adjusted life years (QALYs; EQ-5D...
With an overall life expectancy of around 80 years, there is a small margin of profit in terms of overall survival in the low-risk MDS population. Therefore, health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is a primary treatment goal of installed treatments. The acknowledgment of HRQoL as a treatment...
