Myelodysplastic Syndrome Complete Response with Limited Count Recovery

**Semantic type:** Finding

**Definition:** A clinical response in patients treated for myelodysplastic syndrome that does not meet criteria for a complete response as they do not have greater than or equal to 5% blasts before therapy initiation and are therefore not evaluable for complete response. In addition to having less than 5% myeloblasts, patients with a single lineage (unilineage) response have peripheral blood findings that include only one of the following whereas patients with a two lineage (bilineage) response have only two of the following: hemoglobin greater than or equal to 10 g/dL, platelets greater than or equal to 100 x 10^9/L, neutrophils greater than or equal to 1.0 x 10^9/L, 0% blasts.
