R2-ISS was published in 2022 and has been validated in several cohorts of myeloma patients. In this study, we investigated a total of 1007 multiple myeloma (MM) patients who received autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) between 2001 and 2021. The median age of the patients was 61 years, with a median overall survival (OS) of 91 months and median progression-free survival (PFS) of 66 months. We collected the variables included in the R-ISS and R2-ISS system, as well as additional data such as routine blood markers, bone marrow plasmacytosis, and selected metabolic variables including serum glucose and cholesterol levels. Our analyses demonstrated that all three ISS series systems (ISS, R-ISS, and R2-ISS) exhibited robust discrimination in terms of both OS and PFS among our study cohort. The ISS system effectively stratified patients into three risk groups, while the R-ISS system accurately identified extremely high-risk or low-risk patients. The R2-ISS system further refined risk stratification by dividing patients into four more balanced risk groups. Furthermore, we specifically focused on identifying variables that distinguished patients with OS<3 years and OS>10 years within the low-risk R2-ISS stages (I & II) and high-risk R2-ISS stages (III & IV). Our findings revealed that age and serum glucose levels significantly influenced the classification of patients in the low-risk R2-ISS stage. Additionally, variables such as serum light chain, platelet count, serum glucose, triglyceride levels, age, and the presence of chromosomal 14;16 translocation [t(14;16)] were found to impact high-risk classification.
