Table 3.

Multivariate logistic regression analysis of the association between marrow fibrosis and JAK2- or MPL-mutant allele burden in patients with ET or post-ET myelofibrosis belonging to the Pavia cohort (see Table 1)

Risk factors for the presence of fibrosis (covariates) Odds ratio P 95% CI
Model 1 (including JAK2-mutated, MPL-mutated, and JAK2/MPL-unmutated patients)
 Age at diagnosis (y) 1.01 .225 0.99-1.03
MPL exon 10 mutation vs JAK2 (V617F) 3.22 .017 1.24-8.40
MPL exon 10 mutation vs JAK2/MPL-unmutated patients 1.64 .323 0.62-4.37
Model 2 (including JAK2-mutated and MPL-mutated patients exclusively)
 Age at diagnosis (y) 1.01 .396 0.99-1.04
MPL exon 10 mutation vs JAK2 (V617F) 2.42 .116 0.80-7.29
 Mutation burden, % 1.05 <.001 1.03-1.07
Model 3 (including JAK2-mutated and MPL-mutated patients exclusively)
 Age at diagnosis (y) 1.01 .227 0.99-1.04
MPL exon 10 mutation vs JAK2 (V617F) 2.67 .066 0.94-7.57
 Mutation burden, >50% vs ≤50% 15.45 <.001 3.89-61.38
