Overview

Common risk factors in the development of polycythemia vera are old age (65 year old and older), family history, and Ashkenazi Jewish descent. After a patient is diagnosed with polycythemia vera, risk stratification involves assessment of age and thrombotic history. The risk assessment for development of post-PV myelofibrosis or post-PV acute myeloid leukemia include a variety of factors.

Risk Factors

Risk factors in the development of polycythemia vera are:[1]

  • Old age (65 years older)
  • Family history of polycythemia vera
    • First-degree relatives of patients with polycythemia vera have a 5 to 7-fold higher risk for development of a myeloproliferative neoplasm.
    • The cumulative risk of developing myelofibrosis is 6% at 10 years, 14% at 15 years, and 26% at 20 years from the initial diagnosis of polycythemia vera.[2]
  • Ashkenazi Jewish descent

Risk Stratification

High risk features of polycythemia vera include:

The risk factors for the development of thrombosis include:[3]

The risk factors for the transformation to myelofibrosis or secondary acute myeloid leukemia include:[3]

The risk factors associated with decreased survival include:[3]
