Comparison of Mortality Rates Between Patients With Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma Surviving 5 Years After Initial Diagnosis and a Matched General Population Cohort.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

To determine whether mortality for patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma who survived 5 years (DLBCL5ys) returns thereafter to general population levels.

Methods

This population-based cohort study included Danish residents between January 1, 2000, and December 31, 2023. Information on diagnoses, comorbidities, and vital status came from Danish health and administrative registries. Analyses included 4164 DLBCL5yr patients-55% of incident patients-and 41,640 individuals from the general population matched 10:1 by exact birth year, sex, and the calendar year of achieving DLBCL5yr status. We used Cox proportional hazards models to compute matched mortality hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) and controlled for comorbidities by adding Charlson comorbi
