Overview

Retrospective analysis shows survival disparities in smoldering multiple myeloma by race and socioeconomic status, indicating urgent health care improvements needed.

Key Points

  • This research aims to evaluate disparities in survival outcomes for patients with smoldering multiple myeloma based on race and socioeconomic factors.
  • Conducted a retrospective analysis using the SEER database for patients diagnosed with smoldering multiple myeloma from 2000 to 2022
  • Analyzed demographics like sex, race, income, and metropolitan status
  • Evaluated overall survival and cancer-specific survival with Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox proportional hazards modeling
  • Used descriptive statistics to summarize patient demographics
  • Mean overall survival for patients varied significantly by race and income
  • Black patients had better cancer-specific survival compared to White patients after adjustments
  • Patients living in metropolitan areas had a significantly higher overall survival rate compared to those in non-metropolitan areas
  • Lower income levels were associated with poorer survival outcomes
