Of a total of 143 myelodysplastic patients treated between 1928 and 1951, there were sixty-three patients with severe myelodysplasia whose records allowed long-term review. At the time of writing twenty-nine were alive and were twenty to forty-three years old. All were walking in the hospital while under an intensive physical therapy program. However only two of the nine with twelfth thoracic-second lumbar function were walking at final follow-up as adults, while nineteen of the twenty with function at the third lumbar level were doing so. The status of the hips did not correlate with the ability to walk. One-third of the survivors were self-supporting at the time of writing. About one-half had scoliosis and in one-third was greater than 20 degrees.
在1928年至1951年间接受治疗的143例骨髓发育异常患者中，有63例患有严重骨髓发育异常，其病历可供长期复查。在撰写本文时，29例患者存活，年龄在20至43岁之间。在强化物理治疗方案下，所有患者都能在医院行走。然而，在最终随访时，作为成年人，第九胸椎至第二腰椎功能患者中只有2例能够行走，而第三腰椎水平有功能的20例患者中有19例能够行走。髋关节状况与行走能力无关。在撰写本文时，三分之一的幸存者能够自理。约一半患者有脊柱侧弯，其中三分之一侧弯大于20度。
