A Population-Based Study of Infectious Diseases Mortality Risk in Patients With Hematologic Malignancies 2000-2020.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patients with hematologic malignancies are at high risk of dying from infectious diseases. However, little attention has been paid to infectious diseases mortality (IDM) in these patients. The aim of our study is to determine the incidence and trends of IDM in patients with hematologic malignancies, identify risk factors associated with IDM, and compare the risk of IDM in patients with the general United States population.

Methods

The data of patients with hematologic malignancies between 2000 and 2020 was retrieved from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results program. Standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) and IDM rates were calculated. A competing risk model was performed to identify potential risk factors of IDM.

Results

Among 700,678 patients, 15,
