Implication

Analysis demonstrates urban and marital status disparities in survival rates for acute myeloid leukemia patients from 2016 to 2021, suggesting socio-demographic factors significantly influence health.

Key Points

Overall survival is significantly higher for individuals in urban settings compared to rural counterparts, indicating a socio-economic divide.
5-year overall survival rates differed by race, with highest survival in Hispanic patients at 37.5%, emphasizing demographic disparities.
Multivariate analysis adjusted for marital status reveals a survival advantage for married individuals over singles, highlighting social influences on health outcomes.
Implications suggest targeted support services for unmarried, particularly men, and rural populations with acute myeloid leukemia to improve outcomes.
