Implication

Analysis reveals survival in acute myeloid leukemia is not affected by distance to treatment centers, suggesting other factors may play a stronger role.

Key Points

Survival in acute myeloid leukemia is unaffected by travel distance to treatment centers.
Patients with lower socioeconomic status exhibited similar survival rates despite longer distances to care.
Cox proportional hazard regression demonstrated no independent effect of distance on overall survival in AML.
Higher-income patients living farther from treatment centers showed a notable survival benefit.
