The prognostic value of the IPSS-R was validated in an external cohort of 200 pts with MDS.

a Cytogenetic definitions:Very good: -Y, del(11q).

Good: Normal, del(5q), del(12p), del(20q), double including del(5q).

Intermediate: del(7q), +8, +19, i(17q), any other single, double not including del(5q) or -7/del(7q), or independent clones.

Poor: -7, inv(3)/t(3q)/del(3q), double including -7/del(7q), complex: 3 abnormalities.

Very poor: Complex: >3 abnormalities.

Abbreviations: AML, acute myeloid leukemia; MDS, myelodysplastic syndromes.
