Abstract Abstract 4837 Introduction The International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS) or the WHO Classification-Based Prognostic Scoring System (WPSS) are considered as gold standard to evaluate the patients with MDS in terms of their clinical courses. Recently, a new prognostic cytogenetic risk classification, defined as favorable (5q-, 12p-, 20q-, +21, -Y, 11q-, t(11)(q23), normal, 2 abnormalities including 5q-), intermediate-1 (+1q, 3q21/q26-abnormalities, +8, t(7q), +19, -21, any other single, any other double), intermediate-2 (-X, -7/7q-, 2 abnormalities incl. -7/7q-, complex = 3 abnormalities) or unfavorable risk group (Complex >3 abnormalities), has been reported through 3 large, well-characterized international investigations (German-Austrian (GA), Spanish MDS-registry, IMRAW). This new cytogenetic classification system showed better discrimination of patients according to their prognosis with respect to overall survival and leukemic transformation. The current study attempted to evaluate the new prognostic cytogenetic risk classification in patients with MDS, retrospectively. Patients and methods Between 1996 and 2007, 180 patients with MDS, who were diagnosed and treated at the Samsung medical center, Seoul, Korea, were enrolled into the study. One hundred seventy one patients were analyzed, 115 patients receiving best supportive care were included in the present analysis. Clinical characteristics were as follows; age 59 years (median, range 16-83), male 72%; 3 patients (pts) has 5q-; 1 patient (pt), 12p-; 3 pts, 20q-; 5 pts, -Y; 1 pt, 11q-; 1 pt, t(11)(q23); 80 pts, normal; 2 pts, 2 abnormalities including 5q-; 1 pt, +1q; 1 pt, 3q21/q26-abnormalities; 18 pt, +8; 16 pts, any other single; 19 pts, any other double; 2 pts, -7/7q-; 6 pts, complex = 3 abnormalities; 12 pts, complex >3 abnormalities. Results According to IPSS, 10 patients (9%) were at low risk, 77 patients (67%) at intermediate-1 (Int-1) risk, 22 patients (19%) at intermediate-2 (Int-2) risk and 6 patients (5%) at high risk. According to WPSS, 10 patients (9%) were at very low, 25 patients (22%) at low, 36 patients (31%) at intermediate, 31 patients(27%) at high and 13 patients(11%) at very high risk group. According to new cytogenetic risk classification, 66 patients (57%) were at favorable, 34 patients (30%) at intermediate-1 (Int-1), 9 patients (8%) at intermediate-2 (Int-2) and 6 patients (5%) at unfavorable subgroup. The median OS in overall population was 23.2 months. According to the IPSS, median OS in the Low, Int-1, Int-2 and High subgroup was 37.8, 27.5, 14.8 and 11.6 months, respectively (p<0.001). According to the WPSS, median OS in the subgroup of Very low, Low, Intermediate, High and Very high risk was 54.6, 43.1, 27.5, 16.5 and 11.9 months, respectively (p<0.001). By the new cytogenetic risk classification, median OS in the Favorable, Int-1, Int-2 and Unfavorable subgroup was 23.8, 24.1, 13.0 and 9.1 months (p=0.035). Sixteen cases (13.9%) showed documented leukemic evolutions with median 9.2 months of onset. It was difficult to analyze of leukemic evolution risk due to small number of sample size. Discussion In the present study, the new cytogenetic risk classification does not seem to be validated retrospective series of patients, we couldn't validate that the new cytogenetic subgroups are powerful predictor of prognosis as good as IPSS or WPSS. To warrant availability of the new cytogenetic risk classification, large data sets should be necessary. Also, we should be consider review about the prognostic impact of the karyotype in MDS.

Abstract Abstract 2741 Cytogenetic analyses are essential for stratification and prognosis in childhood AML. We analysed the frequency of chromosomal aberrations and the outcome according to the cytogenetic findings in 386 patients with data (92%) out of the total group of 422 German patients in study AML-BFM 2004. The aim was to evaluate the prognostic impact of specific chromosomal aberrations in a large cohort of patients treated according to this BFM protocol. Patients were <18 years of age and were diagnosed between 2004 and 2009. According to the AML-BFM risk criteria based on morphology, genetics and response on day 15 of therapy, patients were assigned to a high-risk (HR) and a standard risk (SR) group. Cytogenetic and FISH analyses-as well as RT-PCR if indicated-were performed according to standard protocols on bone marrow or peripheral blood prior to therapy. Results: the number of patients in different karyotypic groups and their outcome are given in the table below: SE = standard error, pOS = probability of overall survival, pEFS = probability of event-free survival, CIR = cumulative incidence of relapse at 5 years All patients with t(15;17) and/or PML/RARα fusion gene are surviving disease free, except for two patients who died during the first two weeks of treatment. It is noteworthy that all children with inv(16) and/or CBFβ/MYH11 fusion gene are surviving (pOS=100%). Compared to the results of study AML BFM 98, outcome of patients with MLL-rearrangements was significantly higher in study AML BFM 2004 (pEFS 35%, SE 5%, vs. pEFS 55%, SE4%) which may be due to more intensive treatment with liposomal daunorubicin (L-DNR) and 2-chlorodeoxyadenosine (2-CDA). Patients with the translocation t(9;11)(p22;q23) and/or the MLL/AF9 fusion gene [n=43] had a pEFS of 60% (SE 9%) and a pOS of 80% (SE 6%), whereas patients with translocation t(10;11)(p12;q23) and or the MLL/AF10 fusion gene [n=13] showed a poor outcome with a pEFS of 23% (SE 13%) and a pOS of 59% (SE 14%). Based on a literature review we defined a very-high-risk group (see definition in the table) which showed a very poor outcome both in study AML BFM 2004 (n=16, pEFS 30%, SE12%) and AML BFM 98 (n=22, pEFS 14%, SE 7%). In this very high risk group 25 patients of both studies achieved first complete remission (1st CR); 11 of them underwent allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT) (pEFS 52%, SE16%), 14 patients did not (pEFS of the 12 patients who had an EFS of at least 0.44 years: 13%, SE 11%), Mantel-Byar p=0.17). Conclusion: Our results confirm the favourable prognosis for patients showing the rearrangements t(8;21), t(15;17) and inv(16) and the unfavourable prognosis for those with complex karyotypes (3 or more chromosomal aberrations), deletions in 12p and t(10;11)(p12;q23). According to these results stratification of patients in further AML BFM studies will be even more differentiated, and patients of a genetically defined very high-risk group will have an indication for SCT in 1.CR.

Abstract Abstract 2816 Background: The International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS) was recently revised under the auspices of MDS foundation as a collaborative international effort. The proposed R-IPSS is suggested to refine the prognostic value of the IPSS. Instead of the 4 original IPSS categories, 5 categories are proposed by R-IPSS. To validate this prognostic model and examine its utility for therapy decisions, we tested the new risk model in a large external single institution patient cohort. Methods: Data were collected retrospectively from the Moffitt Cancer Center (MCC) MDS database and chart review. The primary objective was to validate the new risk model. The R-IPSS score was calculated as reported. Patients were divided into 5 prognostic categories (very low, low, intermediate, high and very high risk). The Kaplan–Meier method was used to estimate median overall survival. Log rank test was used to compare Kaplan–Meier survival estimates between the groups. Results: The MCC MDS database captured 1157 patients. Complete data was available for 1029 patients to calculate the R-IPSS score. Median age was 68 years, and the most common WHO subtype was RCMD (29%). Two thirds of patients were low/int-1 IPSS risk, and 44% were int-2 or high risk MDAS. (Table-1). Among those, 729 patients (77%) were RBC transfusion dependent (TD), and 264 (26%) had serum ferritin >1000 ng/l. Six hundred eighteen patients (60%) received hypomethylating agent (HMA). The median duration of follow up was 68 months (mo). Median OS according to IPSS risk score was 90 mo (95%CI 75–105), 44 mo (95%CI 39–46), 18 mo (95%CI 15–21), and 14 mo (95%CI 11–17), for low, int-1, int-2, and high risk categories, respectively (p < 0.005). According to MD Anderson risk Score, the median OS was 108 mo (95%CI 91–126), 55 mo (95%CI 50–60), 25 mo (95%CI 22–28), and 14 mo (95%CI 12–16), for low, int-1, int-2, and high risk respectively (p < 0.005). Using the R-IPSS, 106 (10%), 311 (30%), 247 (24%), 201 (20%), and 164 (16%) were classified as very low, low, int, high, and very high risk. The median OS was 82 mo (95% CI 64–100), 57 mo (95% CI 46–68), 41 mo (95% CI 33–49), 24 mo (95% CI 20–28), and 14 mo (95% CI12–16) for each of the corresponding R-IPSS groups (p <0.005). Table-2 summarizes reclassification of each IPSS risk group by R-IPSS and expected OS accordingly. Among those patients who received HMA, the median OS from time of diagnosis was 76 mo, 55 mo, 42 mo, 25 mo, and 16 mo for very low, low, int, high, and very high risk respectively (p < 0.005). A survival benefit for HMA therapy was only statistically significant in patients with very high risk R-IPSS, with a corresponding median OS of 16 mo with HMA versus 7 mo with no HMA (p< 0.005). OS in patients with very high or high R-IPSS who underwent Allogeneic Stem cell transplant (ASCT) was improved compared to corresponding patients who received non-ASCT management. Patients who had very low, low, and int risk R-IPSS had no apparent OS benefit with ASCT. (Table-3). Conclusion: Our data validates the prognostic value of the proposed R-IPSS, but refines prognostic discrimination only for intermediate risk group of IPSS. Both the R-IPSS and IPSS were valid prognostic models for patients treated with HMA. The benefit of ASCT was restricted to patients with high and very high R-IPSS groups. The utility of the R-IPSS as a tool for therapeutic decisions should be further examined before wide adaptation. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

Abstract Abstract 422 Background: The IPSS published in 1997, based on cytogenetics, marrow blast % and the number of cytopenias, has played a major role in prognosis assessment in MDS. A provisional revised IPSS had been presented in 2011, which in our experience brought limited additional prognostic value for outcome of AZA treatment (Lamarque, ASH 2011). A final IPSS-R has now been published (Greenberg, Blood 2012), using the same parameters but 5 rather than 3 cytogenetic subgroups (Schanz et al, JCO, 2011), new cut off values for cytopenias and bone marrow blast % and different weighing of parameters. It appears to refine IPSS prognostic value but, like the original IPSS, was established in pts who had received no disease modifying drugs. We assessed the prognostic value of IPSS-R in 264 higher risk MDS treated with AZA, a drug with a survival impact in those pts. Methods: Between Sept 2004 and Jan 2009, before drug approval in EU, we enrolled 282 IPSS high and int 2 (higher) risk MDS in a compassionate patient named program of AZA and established in this cohort a prognostic scoring system (“AZA predictive score” based on Performance status (PS), cytogenetics, presence of circulating blasts, and RBC transfusion dependency) (Itzykson, Blood, 2011). We took advantage of this cohort to evaluate the prognostic impact of IPSS-R in higher risk MDS treated with AZA. Results: Median age was 71 years. WHO diagnosis: 4% RA, RARS or RCMD, 20% RAEB-1, 54%RAEB-2, 22% RAEB-t/AML. Cytogenetics could be reclassified using IPSS-R cytogenetic groups (Shanz, JCO 2011) in 265 pts, in: 1% very good, 37% good, 18% int, 12% poor and 32% very poor. 18%, 48% and 34% pts had Hb<8g/dl, between 8 and 10 and >10 g/dl, respectively. 43%, 32% and 25% had baseline platelet count <50 G/l between 50–100 and >100 G/L, respectively. ANC was <0.8 G/l in 45% pts. Marrow blast % was <=2%, 3–5%, 5–10%, >10 % in 2%, 3%, 18% and 77% pts. Overall IPSS-R could be calculated in 259 patients and was low (1 pt), Intermediate (28 pts, 11%), high (87 pt, 34%) and very high (143 pt, 55% pts). The only pt in the low group was excluded from further analysis. Using the “classical” IPSS, high and Int-2 patients treated with AZA had significantly different Response (37% vs 49%, p=0.05) and OS (median 9.4 vs 16 mo, respectively, p=0.004). Using the IPSS-R, 46%, 47% and 39% responded (CR, PR, or Hematological improvement- HI) to AZA in the int, poor and very poor groups, respectively (p=0.463). Individual IPSS-R parameters, including IPSS-R cytogenetic classification (p= 0.646), Hb level (p= 0.948), platelet count (p=0.10), ANC (p= 0.465) and marrow blast % stratified according to R-IPSS (p=0.287) had no significant impact on AZA response. According to IPSS-R cytogenetic classification, median OS was 21.8 mo, 12.3 mo, 15.1 mo and 7.1 mo in the good, int, poor and very poor risk groups respectively (overall p <10−4). Finally, According to IPSS-R, median OS was 30.7 mo, 17.6 mo, and 10 mo in the Intermediate, High and Very High risk groups, respectively (p <10−4, figure 1). I. The 55% patients with very high risk according to IPSS-R could be further subdivided by our AZA scoring system (Itzykson et al, Blood, 2011) in 3%, 67% and 30% low, int or high risk with a significant different OS across those groups (median not reached (NR), 12.7 and 5.9 mo, p <10−4). Similarly, The 34% patients with high risk according to IPSS-R could be further subdivided by the same AZA scoring system in 6%, 80% and 14% low, int or high risk with a significant different OS across those groups (median NR, 17.3 and 6.1 mo, p <10−4). Conclusion: Contrary to the provisional IPSS-R presented in 2011, the final IPSS-R (Greenberg, Blood 2012) has strong prognostic value for survival in MDS pts treated with AZA.Its prognosic value can be further improved by specific scoring systems established for AZA treatment, like the one published by our group (Itzykson, Blood, 2011).

Abstract Background While aza is the only drug shown to prolong survival in MDS, only half of aza-treated pts achieve objective responses (10-20% complete remission), and 4-6 months might be needed before a response is seen. Therefore the ability to select pts with high and low likelihoods of benefit from aza therapy is a clinical and a research priority. No clinical or laboratory parameter consistently predicts response or survival with aza therapy. A French prognostic scoring system (FPSS) was proposed to predict survival among aza-treated pts with HR-MDS. We sought to compare the relative prognostic discriminatory power of the FPSS with that of the revised IPSS (IPSS-R) and the global MD Anderson prognostic scoring system (MDAPSS) in a large cohort of aza-treated pts with IPSS HR-MDS. Methods The MDS database at Moffitt Cancer Center (MCC) was used to identify patients with HR-MDS (International Prognostic Scoring System [IPSS] intermediate-2 [INT-2] and high-risk) who received aza therapy. Kaplan-Meier curves were used to depict survivals, and the log-rank test was used to compare median overall survival (OS). Akaike information criteria (AIC) were used to assess the relative goodness of fit of the models. Results We identified 259 patients HR-MDS (74.1% with INT-2 and 25.9% with high IPSS) treated with aza at the MCC. The median duration of follow up since diagnosis was 53 months (M) (95% confidence interval [CI], 49-59 M). The median number of aza cycles was 5 (range 1-72), with 75% of pts receiving 4 cycles of therapy or more. The median time from diagnosis to aza initiation was 1.5 M. The median OS for the entire cohort was 19 M (95%CI, 16-22 M), 64% of pts were males, 91% were white, 80% were older than 60 years, and 25% had therapy-related MDS. For the IPSS, the median OS was 23.5 M (CI, 18.4-28.6 M) for INT-2 and 15.9 M (CI, 13.6-18.2 M) for high-risk group (P=0.004). For the FPSS, the median OS was 29.5 M (CI, 14.1-44.9 M) for low risk (LR), 21.1 M (CI, 16.4-26.0 M) for intermediate risk (IR), and 14.1 M (CI, 8.7-19.5 M) for HR (P=0.001). For the MDAPSS the median OS was not reached (NR) for low, 53.5 M (CI, 37.5-69.4 M) for INT-1, 29.5 M (CI, 18.3-40.6 M) for INT-2, and 16.1 M (CI, 14.5-17.7 M) for high risk groups (P<0.0001). For the IPSS-R, the median OS 40.6 M (CI, 22.8-58.4 M) for low, 44.7 M (CI, 25.0-64.4 M) for INT, 23.5 M (CI, 20.3-26.8 M) for high, and 15.2 M (CI, 13.7-16.8 M) for very-high risk groups (P<0.0001). Scores generated using AIC to assess the relative goodness of fit (lower is better) were 1453 (IPSS-R), 1480 (MDAPSS), 1512 (FPSS), and 1522 (IPSS). The IPSS could not refine any of the other models. All three newer models refined IPSS INT-2 but not IPSS high-risk. The IPSS did not refine any of the newer models. The MDAPSS refined the FPSS LR and IR and the IPSS-R high and very-high groups. The FPSS refined IPSS-R very high risk group but not the not the MDAPSS. The R-IPSS did not refine the MDAPSS or the FPSS. Response rates were not statically significantly different within the prognostic groups in any of the scoring systems. Conclusions The IPSS-R, MDAPSS, and the FPSS all functioned well to separate aza-treated pts with IPSS HR-MDS into prognostic groups with different survivals, but the IPSS-R and MDAPSS appear superior to the FPSS. None of the prognostic systems predicted response to aza therapy. HR-MDS patients with poor projected survival with aza therapy might be considered for experimental approaches.

Abstract Background Based upon the classification of FAB criteria, International Prognostic Scoring System(IPSS) has been a standard prognostic model to predict survival and progression in MDS. In 2000, the WHO has formulated a new classification of myelodysplastic syndrome(MDS). The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic value of WHO classification-based prognostic scoring system(WPSS) in MDS. Patients and methods One hundred forty-nine patients who were diagnosed as having de novo MDS at the Division of Hematology-Oncology, Samsung medical center, Seoul, Korea, between Dec. 1994 and Feb. 2007, were evaluated retrospectively for clinical and hamatologic features at diagnosis, transfusion dependence, overall survival(OS), and progression to leukemia(LFS). Risk group stratifications in MDS patients were done according to IPSS and WPSS. Results 18 patients(12.1%), 93 patients (62.4%), 29 patients(29%) and 9 patients(6%) had IPSS risk scores of low, intermediate-1(Int-1), intermediate-2(Int-2) and high, respectively. According to WPSS risk scores, 8 patients(5.4%), 30 patients(20.1%), 41 patients(27.5%), 57 patients(38.3%) and 13 patients(8.7%) were classified to very low, low, intermediate, high and very high risk group, respectively. In IPSS, median OSs of low, Int-1, Int-2 and high subgroup were 65.2, 32.9, 14.3 and 9.1 months respectively (p<0.001). According to WPSS, median OSs of very low, low, intermediate, high and very high risk subgroup were not reached, 55.4, 27.4, 19.0 and 6.2 months respectively (p<0.001). Between subgroups classified according to WPSS, significant differences in OS were noted in low vs. intermediate risk group (p=0.047), in intermediate vs. high risk group (p=0.046) and in high vs. very high risk group(p=0.003) but statistically not significant difference in OS was observed between very low and low risk group (p=0.08). The mean and median OS of the lowest risk group(low risk) in IPSS are 65.33 and 55.43 months, respectively. The mean and median OS of the lowest risk group(very low risk) in WPSS are 102.8 months and not reached, respectively. Conclusion These data show that WPSS with five risk groups might provide more refined prognostic stratifications of MDS than IPSS with four risk groups. Especially, new prognostic system appears to discriminate a subset of patients with very low risk, who could have long term survival.

Abstract MDS is a heterogeneous group of hematopoietic stem cell disorders. Various prognostic models have been established to categorize patients with MDS including the International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS), the Revised-IPSS (r-IPSS) and MDACC Scoring System. In this analysis, we compared those three classification schemas for their outcome predictability after HSCT. We analyzed 291 MDS patients with a median age of 55 (interquartile range (IQR) 47-60.7 years) who underwent HSCT between January 2001 and December 2011. Histology by WHO classification included RA/RARS 48 (16.5%), RCMD 28 (9.6%), RAEB-1 59 (20.2%), RAEB-2 63 (21.7%), MDS unclassified 67 (23%), and CMML 26 (9%). Of 291, 117 patients (40.2%) had therapy related MDS (t-MDS). Conditioning regimen was myeloablative in 201 patients (69.1%) and reduced intensity in 90 patients (30.9%). Donors were matched related (MRD), matched unrelated (MUD), mismatched (MMD) in 131 (45%), 114 (39.2%) and 46 (15.8%) patients respectively. Risk categorization was performed by IPSS, r-IPSS and MDACC scoring systems at the time of diagnosis. IPSS, r-IPSS and MDACC scoring systems could be assessed in 239 (82.1%), 241 (82.8%) and 231 (79.4%) patients respectively. The median follow up time of 109 survivors was 45 months. The median time from diagnosis to HSCT was 7.3 months (IQR 4.6-12.4 months). Three-year overall survival (OS) was 38.1% (95%CI 32.3-43.9) with 3-year event free survival (EFS) of 34.2% (95%CI 28.4-40). Cumulative relapse incidence (RI) at 3-year was 28.8% (95%CI 23.3-34.5). Cumulative incidence of treatment related mortality (TRM) at 3 year post-transplant was 27.9% (95%CI 22.6-33.6). In univariate analysis, IPSS and r-IPSS were able to differentiate 2 risk groups for OS and EFS. High risk group per IPSS and very high risk group per r-IPSS had lower OS with hazard ratio (HR) of 2.4 to 3.1, lower EFS with HR of 2.2 to 2.7. While IPSS could not predict RI, very high risk group by r-IPSS had higher RI with HR of 3.6 compared with lower risk groups. Both IPSS and r-IPSS did not identify different risk groups for TRM. On the other hand, MDACC scoring system was able to identify 4 different risk groups for EFS and OS in univariate analysis. Three-year OS was 68%, 46.1%, 30.3% and 11.4% for patients with MDACC risk score of 0-4, 5-6, 7-8 and ≥9 respectively (p<0.001) (figure1). Three-year EFS with MDACC risk score of 0-4, 5-6, 7-8 and ≥9 was 61.7%, 40.8%, 28.1% and 7.4% respectively (p<0.001). For RI and TRM, only MDACC risk scores of ≥9 was associated with poor outcomes with 3-year RI of 38.9% and 3-year TRM of 41.7% compared with 13.3% and 15.5% in risk scores of 0-4 (p=0.01 and p=0.01 respectively). In multivariate analysis, MDACC score, matched unrelated and mismatched donors were associated with inferior OS (table1). As a summary, MDACC risk scoring system for MDS better differentiates prognostic groups than IPSS or r-IPSS. Considering the high frequency of t-MDS among transplanted MDS patients, we propose that MDACC scoring system should be used for prognostic classification for hematopoietic transplantation.

Abstract Objective: To establish a predictive model of carotid vulnerable plaque through systematic screening of high-risk population for stroke.Patients and methods: All community residents who participated in the screening of stroke high-risk population by the China National Stroke Screening and Prevention Project (CNSSPP). A total of 19 risk factors were analyzed. Individuals were randomly divided into Derivation Set group and Validation Set group. According to carotid ultrasonography, the derivation set group patients were divided into instability plaque group and non-instability plaque group. Univariate and multivariable logistic regression were taken for risk factors. A predictive model scoring system were established by the coefficient. The AUC value of both derivation and validation set group were used to verify the effectiveness of the model.Results: A total of 2841 high-risk stroke patients were enrolled in this study, 266 (9.4%) patients were found instability plaque. According to the results of Doppler ultrasound, Derivation Set group were divided into instability plaque group (174 cases) and non-instability plaque group (1720 cases). The independent risk factors for carotid instability plaque were: male (OR 1.966, 95%CI 1.406-2.749),older age (50-59, OR 6.012, 95%CI 1.410-25.629; 60-69, OR 13.915, 95%CI 3.381-57.267;≥70, OR 31.267, 95%CI 7.472-130.83) , married(OR 1.780, 95%CI 1.186-2.672),LDL-c(OR 2.015, 95%CI 1.443-2.814), and HDL-C(OR 2.130, 95%CI 1.360-3.338). A predictive scoring system was created, range 0-10. The cut-off value of prediction model score is 6.5. The AUC value of derivation and validation set group were 0.738 and 0.737.Conclusion:For a high risk group of stroke individual, We provide a model that could distinguishing those who have a high probability of having carotid instability plaque. When resident’s predictive model score exceeds 6.5, the incidence of carotid instability plaque is high, carotid artery Doppler ultrasound would be checked immediately. This model can be helpful in the primary prevention of stroke.

ObjectiveTo compare the performance of the new ESGO-ESTRO-ESP (European Society of Gynecological Oncology-European Society for Radiotherapy & Oncology-European Society for Pathology) 2020 risk classification system with the previous 2016 risk classification in predicting survival and patterns of recurrence in the Danish endometrial cancer population.MethodsThis Danish national cohort study included 4516 patients with endometrial cancer treated between 2005 and 2012. Five-year Kaplan–Meier adjusted and unadjusted survival estimates and actuarial recurrence rates were calculated for the previous and the new classification systems.ResultsIn the 2020 risk classification system, 81.0% of patients were allocated to low, intermediate, or high-intermediate risk compared with 69.1% in the 2016 risk classification system, mainly due to reclassification of 44.5% of patients previously classified as high risk to either intermediate or especially high-intermediate risk. The survival of the 2020 high-risk group was significantly lower, and the recurrence rate, especially the non-local recurrence rate, was significantly higher than in the 2016 high risk group (2020/2016, overall survival 59%/66%; disease specific 69%/76%; recurrence 40.5%/32.3%, non-local 34.5%/25.8%). Survival and recurrence rates in the other risk groups and the decline in overall and disease-specific survival rates from the low risk to the higher risk groups were similar in patients classified according to the 2016 and 2020 systems.ConclusionThe new ESGO-ESTRO-ESP 2020 risk classification system allocated fewer patients to the high risk group than the previous risk classification system. The main differences were lower overall and disease-specific survival and a higher recurrence rate in the 2020 high risk group. The introduction of the new 2020 risk classification will potentially result in fewer patients at high risk and allocation to the new high risk group will predict lower survival, potentially allowing more specific selection for postoperative adjuvant therapy.

Background: The AHA/ACC 2018 Cholesterol Guideline categorizes ASCVD patients into very high-risk vs. high-risk to guide intensive therapy. This categorization is based on clinical conditions, including reduced kidney function, but does not take into account albuminuria, the other kidney measure often available in clinical practice. Methods: We studied 838 participants with major ASCVD (myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, or symptomatic peripheral artery disease) from the ARIC study at baseline (1996 - 98). We compared urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) and the eight high-risk conditions of age 65+, reduced kidney function, diabetes, etc. in the AHA/ACC Guideline regarding their associations with composite outcome of all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, and heart failure. We also evaluated risk classification by adding ACR to the eight high-risk conditions. Results: During a median follow-up of 8 years, 724 (86%) participants developed a composite outcome. ACR ≥30 mg/g was associated with the composite outcome (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 1.45 [95% CI 1.20, 1.75]) beyond the eight high-risk conditions (aHR of these conditions ranged from 0.96 to 2.46). The addition of ACR improved the c-statistic by 0.011 (95% CI 0.003-0.019) from 0.661 to 0.672. ACR classified 4.6% of high-risk group to very high-risk and 11.2% of very high-risk group to extremely very high-risk with a reasonable calibration (Figure). Even ACR ≥10 mg/g showed a significant aHR of 1.38 (1.17, 1.63) and classified 13.4% of high-risk and 18.1% very high-risk to a higher risk category. Of our patients with ASCVD, 77% had diabetes, hypertension, or low kidney function, clinical conditions in which the ACR assessment is recommended. Conclusions: In ASCVD, albuminuria was a strong predictor of major adverse cardiovascular outcome and improved risk prediction. Clinicians should pay attention to albuminuria, in addition to eGFR, when managing ASCVD patients.

Abstract Although allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) is the only curative treatment for myelofibrosis (MF), data are limited on how molecular markers predict transplantation outcomes. We retrospectively evaluated transplantation outcomes of 110 consecutive MF patients who underwent allo-HCT with a fludarabine/melphalan (Flu/Mel) conditioning regimen at our center and assessed the impact of molecular markers on outcomes based on a 72-gene next-generation sequencing panel and Mutation-Enhanced International Prognostic Scoring System 70+ v2.0 (MIPSS70+ v2.0). With a median follow-up of 63.7 months, the 5-year overall survival (OS) rate was 65% and the nonrelapse mortality (NRM) rate was 17%. In mutational analysis, JAK2 V617F and ASXL1 mutations were the most common. By univariable analysis, higher Dynamic International Prognostic Scoring System scores, unrelated donor type, and very-high-risk cytogenetics were significantly associated with lower OS. Only CBL mutations were significantly associated with lower OS (hazard ratio [HR], 2.64; P = .032) and increased NRM (HR, 3.68; P = .004) after allo-HCT, but CALR, ASXL1, and IDH mutations did not have an impact on transplantation outcomes. Patient classification per MIPSS70 showed worse OS for high-risk (HR, 0.49; P = .039) compared with intermediate-risk patients. Classification per MIPSS70+ v2.0 demonstrated better OS when intermediate-risk patients were compared with high-risk patients (HR, 0.291) and much lower OS when very-high-risk patients were compared with high-risk patients (HR, 5.05; P ≤ .001). In summary, we present one of the largest single-center experiences of Flu/Mel-based allo-HCT, demonstrating that revised cytogenetic changes and MIPSS70+ v2.0 score predict transplantation outcomes, and thus can better inform physicians and patients in making decisions about allo-HCT.
