Abstract (english)
Introduction: Red cell distribution width (RDW) provides a quantitative measure of anisocytosis and it is associated with the presence of subclinical systemic inflammation and a poor outcome in a variety of diseases when elevated. Anisocytosis is a feature of primary myelofibrosis (PMF) but it’s prognostic role in PMF has not yet been evaluated. ----- Patients and methods: 33 newly-diagnosed patients with PMF were analyzed. Baseline RDW values were obtained in addition to CRP, LDH, complete blood count, iron metabolism parameters and JAK2 V617F mutational status. Patients were staged according to IPSS prognostic scoring system, liver and spleen size were assessed by palpation. ----- Results: Median RDW was 19.0% (15.2%-22.5%). RDW correlated significantly with hemoglobin level (p=0.005), CRP (p=0.031), spleen size (p=0.036) and IPSS score (p=0.003). Patients with more pronounced anisocytosis had an inferior overall survival (OS) – very-high RDW (≥19.0%) vs. high RDW (15.1%-18.9%) subgroup, HR 5.37, p=0.002. RDW remained significantly associated with OS (p=0.002) in a multivariate model including IPSS score, hemoglobin level and CRP. ----- Conclusion: A higher degree of anisocytosis is associated with more advanced disease features and a decreased overall survival. RDW encompasses standard prognostic score and may help in the rapid detection of patients with an unfavorable prognosis.
