Table 1 Grading criteria for bone marrow fibrosis [29]

From: Effect of treatment with a JAK2-selective inhibitor, fedratinib, on bone marrow fibrosis in patients with myelofibrosis

Grading

Description

0

Scattered linear reticulin with no intersections corresponding to normal bone marrow

1

Loose network of reticulin with many intersections, especially in perivascular areas

2

Diffuse and dense increase in reticulin with extensive intersections, occasionally with only focal bundles of collagen and/or focal osteosclerosis

3

Diffuse and dense increase in reticulin with extensive intersections with coarse bundles of collagen, often associated with significant osteosclerosis

  1. Bone marrow fibrosis is assessed in areas of haematopoietic cellularity
