Chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) is a myeloproliferative disorder. Over the years many prognostic models have been developed to better risk stratify this disease at baseline. Sokal, Euro, and EUTOS scores were developed in varied populations initially receiving various therapies. Here we try to identify their predictive and prognostic implication in a larger population of Indian patients with CML-CP (chronic phase) in the imatinib era.

Background: Imatinib is the most widely used tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) in patients with newly diagnosed chronic-phase chronic myeloid leukemia(CML-CP). However, failure to achieve optimal response after imatinib administration, and subsequent switch to second-generation TKI therapy results in poor efficacy and induces drug resistance. In the present study, we developed and validated a nomogram to predict the efficacy of imatinib in the treatment of patients newly diagnosed with CML-CP in order to help clinicians truly select patients who need 2 generation TKI during initial therapy and to supplement the risk score system.

We report on long-term outcomes of 267 patients (pts) with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) treated with imatinib administered as initial therapy. The median follow-up time was 11.4 years.

Prognostic scores support clinicians in selecting risk-adjusted treatments and in comparatively assessing different results. For patients with chronic-phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), four baseline prognostic scores are commonly used. Our aim was to compare the prognostic performance of the scores and to arrive at an evidence-based score recommendation.

Introduction: The ultimate goal for CML management is risk stratification of the patients to design the appropriate treatment approach. The Sokal, Euro and EUTOS risk scores were established to prognosticate the patients on therapy.

Aim: To perform a comparative assessment of the Sokal, Euro and EUTOS prognostic score in Indian CML-CP patients on imatinib.

Introduction: The Sokal and Hasford (Euro) scores were developed in the chemotherapy and interferon eras and are widely used as prognostic indicators in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Recently, European Treatment and Outcome Study (EUTOS) scoring system was introduced. Data on risk stratification in pediatric CML population was lacking due to its rarity (<3%).
