Identifying Determinants of Survival Disparities in Multiple Myeloma Patients Using Electronic Health Record Data

Multiple myeloma (MM) is one of the most common hematological malignancies. The goal of this study was to analyze the sociodemographic, economic, and genetic characteristics of long-term and short-term survival of multiple myeloma patients using EHR data from an academic medical center in New York City. The de-identified analytical dataset comprised 2,111 patients with MM who were stratified based on the length of survival into two groups. Demographic variables, cancer stage, income level, and genetic mutations were analyzed using descriptive statistics and logistic regression. Age, race, and cancer stage were all significant factors that affected the length of survival of multiple myeloma patients. In contrast, gender and income level were not significant factors based on the multivariate adjusted analysis. Older adults, African American patients, and patients who were diagnosed with stage III of multiple myeloma were the people most likely to exhibit short-term survival after the MM diagnosis.
