Tóm tắt

OBJECTIVE: To illustrate the effect of add-on therapy of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) on the long-term survival of anemic lower-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (LR-MDS) patients. METHODS: In this study, we conducted a retrospective analysis of the data of patients with LR-MDS who were identified from Shuguang Hospital between January 2006 and June 2020. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate overall survival (OS), while the Cox model was employed to analyze prognostic factors of long-term survival. A total of 162 patients who met the inclusion criteria were divided into two groups: the TCM group ( RESULTS: There were no significant differences in baseline characteristics. The cumulative survival rate of the TCM group was significantly higher than that of the non-TCM group [log-rank CONCLUSIONS: The integration of TCM and Western Medicine has the potential to extend the OS of LR-MDS patients when compared to the use of Western Medicine alone.
