Background And Objectives: The aim of this study was a prospective validation of the World Health Organization (WHO) proposals for the classification of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) with respect to their prognostic relevance.
Design And Methods: We classified 1095 patients with MDS diagnosed at our institution between November 1999 and December 2004 according to French-American-British (FAB) and WHO criteria by central morphologic review. The study was not population-based, but included all newly diagnosed patients from different regions in Germany.
