Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the utility of neutrophil-related cell population data obtained by automated hematology analyzers in assessing myelodysplastic syndrome cases with decreased granules in neutrophils.
Methods: A total of 108 subjects were classified into normal granule (n = 35), hypogranulation (n = 37), or hypergranulation (n = 36) groups. Neutrophil cell area and granule area were measured by ImageJ. All samples were analyzed on the XR-1000 and UniCel DxH 800, and neutrophil-related parameters were compared among the 3 groups.
Results: Neutrophil cell area and the ratio of the granular area showed significant differences among the 3 groups; they were the highest in the hypergranulation group and lowest in the hypogranulation group. XR-1000 data showed significant differences in NE-SFL and NE-FSC among the 3 groups (P < .0001). NE-SFL and NE-FSC discriminated most accurately hypogranulation group against other groups. UniCel DxH 800 data showed significant differences in MN-V-NE, MN-MALS-N, MN-UMALS-NE, SD-UMALS-NE (P <.01), MN-LMALS-NE, and SD-LMALS-NE (P <.05) among the 3 groups. The combination of SD-V-NE and SD-LMALS-NE discriminated most accurately the hypogranulation group against the other groups.
Conclusion: NE-SFL and NE-FSC and the combination of SD-V-NE and SD-LMALS-NE are useful in detecting cases with decreased granules in neutrophils.
