Changes in median serum ferritin levels in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes
| Serum ferritin levels | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Population | Median baseline (range), ng/mL | Median final visit (range), ng/mL | Absolute change, ng/mL1 | P-value2 |
| Chelation-naïve (n = 123) | 2679 (184–16 500) | 2000 (155–14 143) | −662 | 0.0002 |
| Prior chelation (n = 44) | 2442 (521–8565) | 2077 (248–7227) | −716 | 0.06 |

As the changes in serum ferritin levels were assessed from the individual pre- and post-treatment differences, the medians of these differences do not necessarily correspond to the differences in the medians calculated from the baseline and final visits separately.
