THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PROGNOSTIC FACTORS AND TREATMENT OUTCOME OF MULTIPLE MYELOMA
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objectives: To analyze the relationship between prognostic factors to outcomes of
number of multiple myeloma (MM) treatment regimens at Ho Chi Minh city (HCMC)
Blood Transfusion and Hematology Hospital from 2018 to 2021.
Subjects and methods: A descriptive and analytical study on 111 patients newly
diagnosed with MM from January 2018 to December 2021 according to IMWG 2014
standards who came for examination and treatment at HCMC Blood Transfusion and
Hematology Hospital.
Results: The prognostic factors associated with statistical significance to the rate of
at least very good partial response (VGPR) compared with the other group including:
Clinical index ECOG < 2, NLR < 2.25, platelet ≥ 150, novel treatment regimen and
myeloma prognostic index (MPI).
Conclusion: Clinical index ECOG < 2, NLR < 2.25, platelet ≥ 150, new treatment
regimen and MPI were the prognostic factors associated with MM.
