We aimed to compare fatigue of newly diagnosed patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) with that of the general population (GP). We also investigated the ability of the IPSS and IPSS-R to capture severity of patient-reported fatigue at diagnostic workup. A sample of 927 newly diagnosed patients with MDS was consecutively enrolled in a large international observational study and all patients completed the FACIT-Fatigue questionnaire at baseline. Fatigue was compared with that of the GP (N = 1075) and a 3-point difference in mean scores was considered as clinically meaningful. Fatigue of MDS patients was on average 4.6 points below the mean of the GP (95% CI, -5.9 to -3.2, p &lt; 0.001), reflecting clinically meaningful worse fatigue. Unlike the IPSS, the IPSS-R identified clearly distinct subgroups with regard to burden of fatigue. Mean scores differences compared with GP ranged from nonclinically relevant for very low risk (Δ = -1.8, 95% CI, -4.0 to 0.5, p = 0.119) to large clinically meaningful differences for very high-risk IPSS-R patients (Δ = -8.2, 95% CI, -10.3 to -6.2, p &lt; 0.001). At diagnostic workup, fatigue of MDS is clinically meaningful worse than that reported by the GP. Compared with the IPSS classification, the IPSS-R provides a better stratification of patients with regard to fatigue severity.

The IPSS-R more accurately captures fatigue severity of newly diagnosed patients with myelodysplastic syndromes compared with the IPSS index
