title: [Prognosis of panmyelopathy: a retrospective study (author's transl)].
abstract: 45 patients with pancytopenia were admitted and treated at the 1st Department of Medicine, University of Vienna, between 1972 and 1978. Retrospective analysis disclosed a significantly longer survival time in association with a hypercellular bone-marrow smear. These patients showed a higher incidence of remission with cortisone anabolic therapy, but more often developed acute leukaemia as well. The median survival time of patients with pancytopenia and a hypocellular or blank marrow was five months. This group of patients should, therefore, be considered for early bone-marrow transplantation.
