Variables Risk Categories Therapy
Age ≤ 60 years old
Prior thrombosis
JAK2V617F mutation
Very low (Age ≤ 60 years, JAK2 wild type, no prior thrombosis) Management of CV risk factors, observation or low dose aspirin, unless contraindicateda
Low (Age ≤ 60 years, JAK2V617F positive, no prior thrombosis) Management of CV risk factors and low dose aspirin unless contraindicateda. Higher dose aspirin may be used if CV risk factors present.
Intermediate (age > 60 years, JAK2 wild type, no prior thrombosis) Management of CV risk factors and cytoreductive therapy plus low-dose aspirin, unless contraindicateda. Higher dose aspirin without cytoreductive therapy if no CV risk factors.
High (age > 60 years and JAK2V617F positive, or prior thrombosis) Management of CV risk factors and cytoreductive therapy plus low-dose aspirin
