A hemoglobin >120g/L trends toward improved survival without increasing vascular events in ESA-treated MDS patients.
Higher red blood cell levels in treated patients correlated with longer survival without raising blood clot risks.
This retrospective cohort study evaluates A hemoglobin >120g/L trends toward improved survival without increasing vascular events in ESA-treated MDS patients. The PubMed abstract reports that A Hb>120g/L on ESA therapy did not associate with increased cardiovascular complications and trended towards improved OS and LFS.
