To compare the prognostic predictive performance of the BLAST, BLAST-mol, CPSS, and CPSS-mol in Chinese patients with Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia (CMML).
Approach:
Key Findings:
Severe anemia and TP53 mutation were identified as independent poor prognostic factors for overall survival (OS).
The BLAST scoring system demonstrated superior risk stratification compared to CPSS, with significant differences in median OS across risk groups.
The BLAST-mol model also showed significant differences in median OS across risk categories, outperforming CPSS-mol.
Interpretation:
Limitations:
The study was conducted in a single ethnic group, which may limit generalizability.
The sample size may not be sufficient to fully validate the prognostic models.
