Excluding chronic @entity12188 , a total of 92 consecutive @entity1 with @entity2590 showing less than 20% blasts in the bone marrow were analyzed. We evaluated the clinical significance of the WHO and @entity4289 2000 classifications by reviewing each @entity4289 @entity1 according to the classification. The WHO criteria classified the @entity4289 @entity1 into 36 with @entity309 , 22 with RCMD and 33 with @entity7139 , whereas according to the @entity4289 2000 criteria there were 19 @entity7139 @entity1 and 15 @entity7139 @entity1 . Based on the WHO classification, the RCMD @entity1 had higher platelet counts and percentages of blasts among BM cells than the @entity309 @entity1 (P = 0.0018, P = 0.0001). Twenty percent of the @entity309 @entity1 , 44.8% of the RCMD @entity1 , and 70.8% of the @entity7139 @entity1 had @entity2008 . Among them, the poor karyotype was present in 6.7% of the @entity309 @entity1 , 21.0% of the RCMD @entity1 and 41.6% of the @entity7139 @entity1 . The rate of @entity204 was 14.3% in the @entity309 @entity1 , 67.7% in the @entity7139 @entity1 and 50.0% in the RCMD @entity1 . Analysis of survival times revealed significant differences between @entity309 and RCMD @entity1 (P = 0.0482). The clinical features of RCMD @entity1 were intermediate between those of @entity7139 and @entity309 @entity1 . There was no difference between the clinical features of the @entity7139 and @entity7139 @entity1 in the @entity4289 2000 classification.
