We analyzed 232 patients with previously untreated, symptomatic WM, of whom 10% were < or = 50 years of age and 21% were > 75 years of age. Disease features and response to treatment were similar among age groups. Patients > 75 years of age had significantly shorter survival (OS; 53 months vs. 113 months for those > 50-75 years vs. not reached for patients < or = 50 years of age; P < .001). Despite the fact that 33% of elderly patients died of causes unrelated to WM, disease-specific survival (DSS) was 72 months for patients > 75 years, 120 months for those > 50-75 years and not reached for patients < or = 50 years (P = .001). International Prognostic Scoring System for WM (IPSSWM) could discriminate 3 risk groups with significantly different OS or DSS. The addition of elevated serum lactate dehydrogenase in the IPSS improved the ability of IPSS to identify a group of patients with a significantly worse outcome (median survival, 55 months).
我们分析了232例先前未经治疗的有症状的华氏巨球蛋白血症(WM)患者,其中10%年龄小于或等于50岁,21%年龄大于75岁。各年龄组的疾病特征和治疗反应相似。年龄大于75岁的患者生存期显著缩短(总生存期[OS];大于50至75岁的患者为53个月,小于或等于50岁的患者未达到,大于75岁的患者为113个月;P<0.001)。尽管33%的老年患者死于与WM无关的原因,但年龄大于75岁患者的疾病特异性生存期(DSS)为72个月,大于50至75岁的患者为120个月,小于或等于50岁的患者未达到(P = 0.001)。WM国际预后评分系统(IPSSWM)可区分出3个风险组,其OS或DSS有显著差异。IPSS中加入血清乳酸脱氢酶升高可提高IPSS识别一组预后明显较差患者的能力(中位生存期,55个月)。
