    Description / Table of Contents: Summary The congenital dyserythropoietic anemias represent a group of rare inborn errors with ineffective erythropoiesis as the predominant mechanism of anemia. They are primarily classified into three types on the basis of characteristic abnormalities of the erythroblasts as shown by light and electron microscopy. There are distinct associated features such as pattern of heredity, cell kinetics and abnormalities of the cell membrane. In addition, patients with apparent CDA of heterogenous phenotype are observed, that cannot be attributed to any of the three types. Recently variant genes have been localized to different regions on chromosome 15 or 22. Cases of CDA were reported from many ethnics, in particular in families of meditarranean origin. Many patients load iron necessitating iron depletion. Gallstones are a frequent complication and are observed in childhood or adolescence. Therapeutic measures such as splenectomy, treatment by Interferon α or allogeneic bome marrow transplantation depend on the type and the severity of clinical expression, which shows large variations both within and between affected kindreds.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Unter dem Begriff der kongenitalen dyserythropoetischen Anämien (CDA) wird eine geno- und phänotypisch heterogene Gruppe seltener angeborener Erkrankungen der Erythropoese zusammengefaßt. Sie sind durch eine Ineffektivität der Erythropoese und charakteristische morphologische Veränderungen der Erythroblasten gekennzeichnet, die eine Einteilung in 3 Typen erlauben. Damit assoziierte Merkmale betreffen den Erbgang, die Zellkinetik, Veränderungen der Erythrozytenmembran und die unterschiedliche Lokalisation des varianten Gens. Die Pathogenese ist nur teilweise bekannt. Bei dem meisten Patienten kommt es, teilweise bereits im Kindesalter, zur Gallensteinbildung und zur sekundären Hämochromatose, die eine Eisenentzugsbehandlung erfordert. Therapeutische Maßnahmen wie Splenektomie, Interferon-α-Behandlung oder allogene Knochenmarktransplantation richten sich nach dem CDA-Typ und der sehr unterschiedlichen Schwere der Erkrankung.

    Notes: Abstract  The methodology of decision analysis was originally developed to improve clinical decisions of physicians for individual patients. However, it is also well suited to support consensus procedures. We have used this methodology to analyse the question whether allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) or consolidation chemotherapy (CCT) should be used as first line postremission treatment in patients with acute myeloid leukemia. Main risk factors relevant for the outcome after BMT and CCT are therapy-related mortality and leukemic relapse, respectively. If the possibility of salvage BMT for patients relapsing after CCT is included, the outcomes of the two strategies come rather close. However, they are clearly different in subtypes of leukemia with high or low risk of relapse, and in patients at high risk for BMT-related mortality. Sensitivity analysis considering the variation of more than one risk factor provides valuable information for decision making for both individual patients and particular subgroups of patients with acute myeloid leukemia.
