Popis: Introduction The presence of ring sideroblasts (RS) and mutation of the SF3B1 gene are diagnostic of lower‐risk (LR) myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and are correlated with favorable outcomes. However, information on testing and reporting in community‐based clinical settings is scarce. This study from the Connect® MDS/AML Disease Registry aimed to compare the frequency of RS and SF3B1 reporting for patients with LR‐MDS, before and after publication of the 2016 World Health Organization (WHO) MDS classification criteria. Methods Ring sideroblasts assessment and molecular testing data were collected from patients with LR‐MDS at enrollment in the Registry. Patients enrolled between December 2013 and the data cutoff of March 2020 were included in this analysis. Results Among 489 patients with LR‐MDS, 434 (88.8%) underwent RS assessment; 190 were assessed prior to the 2016 WHO guidelines (Cohort A), and 244 after (Cohort B). In Cohort A, 87 (45.8%) patients had RS identified; 29 (33.3%) patients had RS
