One hundred and eighty-eight patients with myelomatosis, 166 of whom had multiple myelomatosis, were studied to assess the prognostic significance of age, sex, mode of clinical presentation, presence of anaemia, azotaemia and abnormal cells in the peripheral blood at the time of diagnosis. The generalized disease was rapidly fatal in many of these unselected patients. Women survived longer than men and the young slightly longer than the old. Of the laboratory findings, only a raised blood urea (greater than 60 mg/100 ml) was associated with a statistically poorer prognosis.
对188例骨髓瘤患者进行了研究,其中166例为多发性骨髓瘤,以评估年龄、性别、临床表现方式、诊断时是否存在贫血、氮质血症以及外周血异常细胞等因素对预后的影响。在这些未经挑选的患者中,许多全身性疾病进展迅速,预后不良。女性的生存期比男性长,年轻人的生存期比老年人略长。在实验室检查结果中,只有血尿素升高(大于60mg/100ml)与统计学上较差的预后相关。
