Description

Patnaik et al reported a simple score for evaluating patients with chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML). The authors are from the Mayo Clinic.


Patient selection: CMML

 

Parameters:

(1) absolute monocyte count in 10^9/L

(2) circulating immature myeloid cells

(3) hemoglobin in g/dL

(4) platelet count in 10^9/L

total score =

= SUM(points for all 4 parameters)

 

Interpretation:

• minimum score: 0

• maximum score: 4

• The higher the score the greater the risk.
