Generally, one should be aware that the assessment of laboratory data (with accepted threshold values) is significantly different from the interpretation of histopathological patterns. There is always a certain range of subjectivity associated with evaluating BM tissue. However, to ameliorate this bias, a set of various methods may be applied to achieve a consensus among different observers. Morphometric analysis employing different techniques (25,35,76,83), including even automatic image analysis (84), can be applied to BM biopsy and has been shown to be useful in classifying MPNs.
It is noteworthy that, as already mentioned (Fig. 8% vs. 2%). In significant contrast, when applying the WHO classification (20,54,110) on this cohort, there was no transformation into myelofibrosis either by clinical or morphological standards in (true) ET opposed to early-stage PMF (Table 8). In this context, it has to be emphasized that PMF with accompanying thrombocytosis (Table 6) was characterized by an enhanced probability to develop this complication, including MMM (Table 7).

However, in multivariate risk classification, the extent of BM fibrosis (45) alone revealed no significant influence on survival (69,102,142–144).
