Primary myelofibrosis with increased haemoglobin concentration at presentation
British Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.Subjects with primary myelofibrosis and elevated haemoglobin levels at diagnosis tend to have longer survival rates (OS) and blast transformation‐free survival (BTFS) than those with normal or reduced haemoglobin levels. Summary One hundred of 963 consecutive registrants with primary myelofibrosis (PMF) in the Pavia‐CSM database had haemoglobin ...
