Distinct characteristics and new prognostic scoring system for Chinese patients with Waldenström macroglobulinemia
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM) is an uncommon lymphoid malignancy. The characteristics and prognosis of WM have never been systematically studied in the East. METHODS: We analyzed the clinical characteristics and the prognostic factors of 90 Chinese WM patients, and compared them with the Western reports. RESULTS: The median age was 62 years old with a male-to-female ratio of 3.74. The most common symptoms at diagnosis were fatigue (77.8%) and bleeding (20%), while only 6 patients (6.7%) were asymptomatic. In the univariate analysis, age >62 years, thrombocytopenia, leucopenia, cytopenias ≥ 2, and high risk on the international prognostic scoring system for WM were the adverse risk factors, but only age >62 years and ≥ 2 cytopenias were the independent prognostic factors in the multivariate analysis. Using age <62 years and ≥ 2 cytopenias, three significantly different prognostic groups could been distinguished, with 5-year overall survival of 71.6%, 48.6%, and 17.0% (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Distinct characteristics exist in WM in China compared to the West and we describe a new simple prognostic model for newly diagnosed WM patients.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
