Real-World Treatment Patterns, Healthcare Resource Utilization, And Costs In Patients With Newly Diagnosed Acute Myeloid Leukemia (Aml)

Background: There is a scarcity of data about healthcare resource utilization (HRU), costs, and treatment patterns of patients (pts) with newly diagnosed AML, despite the prolonged hospitalizations associated with induction and consolidation chemotherapy. The initial decision whether to treat with intensive induction chemotherapy depends, primarily, on pt age, comorbidities, and performance status. For pts deemed eligible for induction chemotherapy, treatment generally consists of induction with an intensive chemotherapy regimen (e.g., cytarabine + anthracycline "7+3") and post-induction therapy (consolidation) for those who achieve a complete remission. Post-induction therapy may consist of repeated rounds of further cytotoxic chemotherapy or allogeneic HSCT.
