Nowadays, it is well established that sickle cell disease is indeed the result of homozygosis for the HbS variant, although this single feature is not capable of explaining the highly diverse clinical presentation of SCD. In fact, an important feature of SCD is the chronic inflammation that accompanies the sickling of erythrocytes.

Most patients presented with limited stage disease (75%). The median OS was 49 months. Factors associated with increased mortality were advanced stage, bone marrow involvement, gastrointestinal tract involvement, and receiving chemotherapy. Following prognostic model validation, the CA system model scored the highest level of accuracy (AUC 0.61), followed by AASS (AUC 0.58) and PINK (AUC 0.54). <b>Conclusions</b>: Patients with ENKTL commonly presented with nasal obstruction, with 36.7% requiring more than one biopsy for diagnosis. An advanced stage, bone marrow involvement, or gastrointestinal tract involvement were associated with poor OS. The CA system model has the highest level of accuracy for prognostic determination.</p>","PeriodicalId":12829,"journal":{"name":"Hematology Reports","volume":"16 4","pages":"769-780"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11727912/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142894024","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
