dc.description.abstractBackground: Lymphopenia is prognostically relevant in several malignancies. Little is known about its role in myelofibrosis (MF). Aim: To evaluate the prevalence of lymphopenia at diagnosis and its prognostic impact in MF. Methods: Patients diagnosed between 2010-2020 at the Cantonal Hospitals St. Gallen and Muensterlingen with primary MF [PMF], MF secondary to essential thrombocytopenia or polycythemia vera [MF- post] and prefibrotic primary MF [pre- PMF] were evaluated for the absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) at diagnosis. Results: 80 patients with overt MF (PMF n = 59, MF-post n = 21) and 28 with pre-PMF were included. The ALC was lower in overt MF compared to pre-PMF (median 1.5x109/l versus 2.0x109/l, p = 0.039). In MF-post (evaluable post-ET n = 8, post-PV n = 10), a drop of the ALC was documented at MF-diagnosis compared to the diagnosis of the preceeding disorder (median 1.35x109/l versus 2.05x109/l, p = 0.009). An ALC <1.5x109/l was associated with lower hemoglobin concentration and neutrophil-counts (median 100 vs. 115g/l and 5.5 vs. 8 G/l, p = 0.009 and p = 0.023). For cases with fibrosis grade 3 versus grade 2, a trend towards a lower ALC was noted (median 1.3x109/l versus 1.6x109/l, p = 0.07). The DIPSS-groups did not differ with regard to the ALC. Neither an ALC <1.0x109/l nor <1.5x1.0x109/l was associated with a survival difference (median 65 versus 73 months, p = 0.879 and 66 versus 89 months, p = 0.823). Conclusions: Lymphopenia in MF is highly prevalent at diagnosis, but offers no additional prognostic information. Its association with lower hemoglobin values and the development of fibrosis in cases of MF-post points towards a possible relationship of lymphopenia with MF-pathophysiology.de_CH
