    This study identified key prognostic factors for multiple myeloma, including bone marrow plasma cells, bone lesions, Bence-Jones proteinuria, and haemoglobin levels. A new scoring system effectively stages patients, improving survival prediction.

    Area of Science:

    • Hematology
    • Oncology
    • Medical Statistics

    Context:

    • Multiple myeloma is a hematologic malignancy with variable prognoses.
    • Accurate prognostic indicators are crucial for patient management and treatment stratification.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the prognostic significance of 15 variables in multiple myeloma.
    • To develop a clinical staging system based on significant prognostic factors.

    Summary:

    • Multivariate Cox regression analysis identified bone marrow plasma cell percentage, lytic bone lesions, Bence-Jones proteinuria, and haemoglobinaemia as significant prognostic variables.
    • A scoring system (0-4) was developed based on these factors, categorizing patients into five clinical stages.
    • Significant differences in mean survival and survival curves were observed across the five clinical stages (p < 0.01 and p < 0.0001, respectively).
