Cardiovascular risk factors in myeloproliferative neoplasms: associations with survival and thrombotic outcomes.

ABSTRACT: Cardiovascular risk factors (CVRFs) are important modifiers of thrombosis in patients with essential thrombocythemia (ET), polycythemia vera (PV), and myelofibrosis (MF). We performed a retrospective cohort analysis evaluating CVRFs in 1005 patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) from the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute Hematologic Malignancies Data Repository from 2014 to 2023. We also included a non-MPN group of 1543 age- and sex-matched controls with no known diagnoses of hematologic malignancies to evaluate whether CVRFs differentially affected outcomes. CVRFs were identified through International Classification of Diseases codes for hypertension, hyperlipidemia, type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2), current smoking, or body mass index ≥30 before MPN diagnosis. CVRFs occurred in 34% o
