The Endothelial Activation and Stress Index (EASIX) is easily produced with common laboratory indicators ([creatinine× LDH]/platelets). The purpose of this study was to determine whether EASIX score could be a novel prognostic marker for MM patients and its implications on the outcome of the disease
