Table 4. Evaluation of TEMs in the peripheral blood (PB) of patients with primary myelofibrosis (PMF) divided according with the spleen size.
Patients with PMF | n | PB TEMs | pvs CTRLs |
---|---|---|---|
Spleen size ≤ 100 cm2 | 35 | 24.1 (2.2–34.2)* | 0.07 |
Spleen size >100 cm2 (range 108–782 cm2) | 38 | 8.1 (0–38) | 0.002 |
* p = 0.000003 patients with spleen size ≤100 cm2 vs patients with spleen size >100 cm2
