Abstract
- AbstractBackground: Extramedullary disease (EMD) is an unusual event in patients with MM. This study aimed to assess the prognostic impact of EMD and develop an EMD-based risk model to estimate the survival of patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM).Methods: A total of 518 patients were enrolled in this study, of which 121 presented with EMD at the initial diagnosis. Patients were divided into non-EMD, extramedullary-bone-related (EM-B) and extramedullary-extraosseous (EM-E) groups. Clinical characteristics were compared using the chi-squared test or Fisher’s exact test. Survival curves were plotted using the Kaplan-Meier method, and a nomogram was constructed based on the Cox proportional hazards model.Results: Compared to patients without EMDs, patients with EM-E were younger (p = 0.028), and those with EM-B had less renal damage (p
