【 摘 要 】

The outcome of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) depends on both progression to acute leukemia and complications development. During a 18-months observation period, non-toxic complications emerging in 48 outpatient MDS, of which 15 (31%) on active treatment and 33 (69%) receiving supportive measures alone, were recorded and analyzed. Out of 48 patients (median age of  72 years), 34 (71%)  experienced complications;  a total number of 92 events were recorded; most frequently observed events were infectious (38 events). Complications are a frequent issue in MDS; preventive measures should be increased and directed toward the most frequently observed complications.
