Implication

Retrospective analysis shows survival disparities in smoldering multiple myeloma by race and socioeconomic status, indicating a need to address social determinants of health.

Key Points

Evaluate disparities in survival outcomes among patients with smoldering multiple myeloma based on race and socioeconomic factors.
Conducted a retrospective analysis using the SEER 2017 database
Included patients diagnosed with smoldering multiple myeloma from 2000 to 2022
Analyzed demographic data and survival outcomes using statistical methods
Utilized Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox proportional hazards modeling for evaluation
Significant survival disparities by race and socioeconomic status were found
Mean overall survival varied by race: White (92.1 months), Black (95.1 months), Asian (102.4 months)
Patients with household incomes >$90,000 had higher overall survival compared to those with < $60,000
Black patients had improved cancer-specific survival versus White patients
