Epidemiology of polycythemia vera in Cte d'Or (Burgundy)

Abstract:
Using the registry of hematopoietic malignancies in Cte d'Or, we studied 48 cases of Polycythemia Vera (PV) diagnosed between 1980 and 1990. The overall age-standardized incidence rates, based on the world population, were 0.7 in men and in women. The mean age was 67.0 years in men and 60.5 in women (NS). The incidence decreased during the eleven years of observation. The overall five-year survival rate was 83% and the corrected rate was 100%. 8% of PV transformed into another myeloproliferative disorder (myelofibrosis) and half of them became acute leukaemias.

Erythropoiesis
Disorders of Erythrocytes
Erythrocyte disorders can be broadly categorized into two main types: anemic and polycythemic conditions.
A low oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood due to the loss, lower production, or destruction of erythrocytes is termed anemia. Hemorrhagic anemia, for example, occurs when bleeding from an external wound or internal ulcer reduces erythrocyte counts.
