Abstract
Basing on computer processing of 126 primary clinical and laboratory p arameters obtained from 92 patients with myelodysplasia and using mult ifactorial regression analysis, the authors have developed prognostic models of life spall and probability of transformation into acute leuk emia. The model of life span ena bled recognition of 3 prognostic grou ps of myelodysplasia patients: of high (median 10 months), moderate (m edian 22 months) and low (median 35 months) risk. This makes it possib le to prognosticate the disease and assume optimal therapeutic policy.
