Abstract | Bone marrow (BM) examination is a key element in the diagnosis and prognostic grading of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDSs), and obtaining adequate BM cell samples is critical for accurate test results. Massive haemodilution of aspirated BM samples is a well-known problem; however, its incidence in patients with MDS has not been well studied. We report the first study to examine the incidence of massive haemodilution in nationwide BM samples aspirated from patients diagnosed with or suspected of MDS in Japan. Among 283 cases available for analysis, BM smears from 92 cases (32.5%) were hypospicular (massively haemodiluted) and, particularly, no BM particles were observed in 52 cases (18.4%). Regarding hypospicular cases, we examined how the doctors in charge interpreted the BM smears of their patients. In only 19 of 92 cases (20.7%), doctors realised that the BM smears were haemodiluted. Furthermore, the BM biopsy, which can help diagnose hypospicular cases, was oftentimes not performed when the haemodilution was overlooked by doctors (not performed in 50 of 73 such cases). These real-world data highlight that not only researchers who are working to improve diagnostic tests but also clinicians who perform and use diagnostic tests must realise this common and potentially critical problem. |
