Efficacy and Safety of Reduced Dose Azacitidine in Elderly Patients with Myelodysplastic Syndromes
Objective
To analyze the efficacy and safety of low-dose azacitidine in treating elderly patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS).
Methods
A total of 92 elderly MDS patients were divided into an observation group and a control group. The observation group received a low dose of azacitidine, while the control group received a standard dose. The clinical efficacy, overall survival, and adverse reactions of both groups were observed.
Results
After treatment, both groups showed significant improvement in hemoglobin and platelet levels. The total effective rate of the observation group was slightly lower than that of the control group. The incidence of adverse events in the control group was significantly higher than that in the observation group.
Conclusion
Reducing azacitidine dosage in the treatment of elderly MDS patients shows good efficacy and safety.
