Implication

Cohort study reveals racial disparities in systemic therapy initiation and hospitalization rates among multiple myeloma patients, indicating urgent need for equity-focused interventions.

Key Points

  • Black patients were less likely to initiate systemic therapy within 60 days compared to White patients, highlighting significant racial disparities.
  • Propensity score matching was employed alongside a multi-institutional cohort study of patients diagnosed with multiple myeloma.
  • Among patients, Black individuals had increased hospitalization rates yet lower rates of stem cell transplantation within one year.
  • These findings underscore the need for interventions addressing racial disparities in care for multiple myeloma patients.
