Table 1.

Myeloma Spine and Bone Damage Score (MSBDS). Interpretation: High risk: >10: immediate surgical or radiation oncologist consultation. Medium risk: ≥5–10: possible instability and medium risk of pathologic fracture. Low risk: <5. * Bone abnormalities not sufficient to give high risk scores, if isolated. ** 1 point for every segment according to MY-RADS (from [26]).
