Abstract
Essential thrombocythemia (ET) is the most common of the myeloproliferative neoplasms. For better predicting the occurrence of thrombotic events, an International Prognostic Score of Thrombosis for ET (IPSET-Thrombosis) was recently developed. We aimed to investigate the validity of IPSET-Thrombosis in a Turkish patient cohort and to compare the efficacy of IPSET-Thrombosis and conventional risk scoring systems in predicting thrombosis-free survival. We retrospectively evaluated the clinical characteristics and risk factors for thrombosis in 112 Turkish patients. Median thrombosis-free survival and Harrell C concordance indexes were calculated for both conventional and IPSET-Thrombosis. Median age of 112 patients included in the study was 61 (range, 27-90) years at the time of diagnosis. When patients were stratified according to the conventional risk stratification system, 43.8% of patients were in the low-risk group and 56.2% in the high-risk group. A total of 22.4% of low-risk and 42.9% of high-risk patients had at least one thromboembolic event. When patients were stratified according to the IPSET-Thrombosis, 33% were in the low-risk group, 26.8% in the intermediate-risk group, and 40.2% in the high-risk group.
