Article Synopsis
- * Research involving younger patients with untreated AML (age ≤60) showed that class III obesity significantly increases early death rates and worsens overall survival compared to normal weight individuals.
- * These results emphasize the need for more in-depth studies on the impacts of class III obesity in AML patients to better understand their unique risks and outcomes.
Patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who have failed hypomethylating agents (HMA) have a poor prognosis. We examined whether high intensity induction chemotherapy could abrogate negative outcomes in 270 patients with AML or other high-grade myeloid neoplasms. Prior HMA therapy was significantly associated with a lower overall survival (OS) as compared to a reference group of patients with secondary disease without prior HMA therapy (median 7.

While there are models predicting dichotomous functional outcomes after ischemic stroke, there are no models that predict ordinal mRS outcomes. We aimed to create a model that predicts, at the time of hospital discharge, a patient's modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score on day 90 after ischemic stroke.
