INTRODUCTION: Of the major @entity6961 ( @entity6961 ) [polycythemia vera (PV), @entity4407 ( @entity4407 ), @entity1860 ( @entity1860 ) and @entity4018 ( @entity4018 )], PV and @entity4407 are reported to be associated with increased @entity715 . However, the relationship between these @entity6961 and @entity453 ( @entity453 ) is unclear. METHODS: We performed a retrospective chart review to evaluate the prevalence of @entity453 in @entity1 with diagnosed with @entity6961 between 1991 and 2001. RESULTS: One hundred and eighty-one @entity1 (100 males, 81 females) with a mean age of 72.5 years were included. Twenty-nine @entity1 , 19 males and 10 females (16%, 95% CI: 12.0-24.0) had @entity453 . These included 6/53 (11.3%, 95% CI: 1.5-20.2) @entity1 with @entity1860 , 1/26 (3.8%, 95% CI: -4.4 to 12.8) @entity1 with PV, 5/30 (16.7%, 95% CI: 2.5-30.8) @entity1 with @entity4407 , 3/7 (42.9%, 95% CI: 12.3-87.7) @entity1 with @entity4018 and 14/65 (21.5%, 95% CI: 13.1-37.8) @entity1 with co-existent @entity6961 . Comparing the risk of @entity453 with @entity1860 as a baseline, @entity4018 had an OR of 8.2 (p < 0.01, 95% CI: 1.7-39), PV-0.4 (p = 0.4, 95% CI: 0.04-3.2), @entity4407 -1.6 (p = 0.7, 95% CI: 0.43-6.2) and @entity1 with co-existent @entity6961 .8 (p=0.07, 95% CI: 0.91-8.6). However, after adjusting for age, sex, @entity2299 , @entity6 , @entity101 and @entity286 use, the difference in the prevalence of @entity453 between the various categories of @entity6961 was not significant. CONCLUSION: Contrary to conventional belief, we did not find an increased prevalence of @entity453 in @entity1 with either PV or @entity4407 . In fact, @entity1 with @entity4018 had a significantly higher prevalence of @entity453 . However, this difference appears to be due to the increased age at diagnosis of @entity4018 . The conventional risk factors for @entity453 appear to be the major determinants of @entity453 among @entity1 with @entity6961 .
