The Challenge of Unexplained Splenomegalies: Preliminary Data of the French Prospective Multi-Center Splenomegaly Study (SMS)
Conclusions: Patients who finally have an established diagnosis were older and had a significantly larger spleen than those with no diagnosis. The spleen length cut-off of 13 cm or more seems reliable since almost 9 out 10 cases were confirmed by Splenocalc application. Furthermore, after 12 months of regular medical evaluations, 44% of patients remained with an unexplained SM. This proportion seems to be higher than percentages reported in the literature, but our 12-month follow up period might be too short. The final analysis planned on a total population of 500 patients will estimate the prevalence of each etiology of unexplained SM as well as the exams and tests conducted for diagnosis purpose.DisclosuresDenis: Sanofi: Honoraria, Membership on an entity's Board of Directors or advisory committees, Research Funding.
