Frailty in chronic myeloid leukemia: evidence from 2016-2018 Nationwide Inpatient Sample of the US.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Frailty is a marker of poor prognosis in older adults with hematologic malignancies and contributes to the severe vulnerability of the aging population to adverse health outcomes.
