Popis: Population-based studies that contain detailed clinical data on patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) are scarce. This study focused on the real-world overall survival (OS) of MDS patients in association with comorbidities, specifically malignancies. An observational population-based study using the HemoBase registry was performed, including all patients with MDS diagnosed between 2005 and 2017 in Friesland, a Dutch province. Detailed information about diagnosis, patient characteristics, previous treatment of malignancies, and comorbidities according to the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) was collected from electronic health records. Patients were followed up until June 2019. Kaplan-Meier plots and Cox regression analyses were used to study survival differences. In the 291 patients diagnosed with MDS, the median OS was 25.3 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 20.3-30.2). OS was significantly better for patients with CCI score
