Popis: Aim: This retrospective, observational study assessed healthcare resource utilization (HCRU) and costs for newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients receiving intensive induction chemotherapy. Materials & methods: Adult AML patients with inpatient hospitalization or hospital-based outpatient visit receiving intensive induction chemotherapy (CPX-351 or 7 + 3 treatments) were identified from the Premier Healthcare Database (US). Results: All 642 patients had inpatient hospitalizations (median number = 2; median length of stay = 16 days); 22.4% had an ICU admission. Median total outpatient hospital cost was US$2904 per patient, inpatient hospital cost was $83,440 per patient, and ICU cost was $16,550 per patient. Discussion: In the US hospital setting, substantial HCRU and costs associated with intensive induction chemotherapy for AML were driven by inpatient hospitalizations.
