Patients with high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) treated with azacitidine (AZA) have exhibited improved overall survival. However, information on AZA in real-world settings is limited. The present study retrospectively analyzed 85 patients with MDS treated with AZA. Complete response was achieved in 24% of cases and hematologic improvement in 29%. Severe adverse events (grade ≥3) included neutropenia and infection. Multivariate analysis identified higher revised international prognostic scoring system (IPSS-R) and male sex as significant factors affecting survival. However, the present study did not identify any significant associations between patient characteristics and response to AZA. In conclusion, AZA could produce a hematologic response in ~53% of patients with MDS. Furthermore, IPSS-R may reflect MDS prognosis. Further studies are required to establish the criteria for identifying patients likely to obtain maximum benefit from AZA treatment.
