To assess life expectancy and prognostic factors for survival in patients with polycythemia vera and essential thrombocythemia.
The study sample consisted of 831 consecutive patients with polycythemia vera (n = 396; 4184 person-years of follow-up) or essential thrombocythemia (n = 435; 4304 person-years of follow-up). Mortality in each group was compared with the Italian population using the standardized mortality ratio (SMR) based on life expectancy data obtained from the Italian Institute of Statistics.
The 15-year survival was 65% in patients with polycythemia and 73% in those with thrombocythemia. By Cox regression analysis, the independent predictors of death were a history of thrombosis for polycythemia (hazard ratio [HR] = 2.2; P = 0.0002) and thrombocythemia (HR = 2; P = 0.01), and male sex (HR = 1.8; P = 0.03) for thrombocythemia. Mortality compared with the general population was 1.6-fold higher (P <0.001) in patients with polycythemia but was not increased in those with thrombocythemia (SMR = 1; P = 0.8).
Life expectancy of patients with polycythemia vera (especially if younger than 50 years) was reduced compared with the general population, whereas life expectancy of patients with essential thrombocythemia was not affected significantly by the disease, reflecting the more indolent nature of the proliferation. History of thrombosis was the main predictor of death in both diseases.
评估真性红细胞增多症和原发性血小板增多症患者的预期寿命及生存预后因素。
研究样本包括831例连续的真性红细胞增多症患者(n = 396;4184人年随访)或原发性血小板增多症患者(n = 435;4304人年随访)。根据从意大利统计局获得的预期寿命数据,使用标准化死亡率(SMR)将每组的死亡率与意大利人群进行比较。
真性红细胞增多症患者的15年生存率为65%,血小板增多症患者为73%。通过Cox回归分析,死亡的独立预测因素在真性红细胞增多症中为血栓形成史(风险比[HR]=2.2;P = 0.0002),在血小板增多症中为血栓形成史(HR = 2;P = 0.01)以及男性性别(HR = 1.8;P = 0.03)。真性红细胞增多症患者与普通人群相比死亡率高1.6倍(P <0.001),但血小板增多症患者死亡率未增加(SMR = 1;P = 0.8)。
真性红细胞增多症患者(尤其是年龄小于50岁者)的预期寿命较普通人群缩短,而原发性血小板增多症患者的预期寿命未受该疾病显著影响,这反映了其增殖更为惰性的本质。血栓形成史是这两种疾病死亡的主要预测因素。
