Quality of life and life satisfaction in long-term survivors of acute myeloid leukemia.

ABSTRACT: We performed a questionnaire-based cross-sectional study to analyze Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) long-term survivor (LTS) outcomes, including psychosocial well-being and somatic health status. Four-hundred-twenty-seven former AML patients participated (response rate, 63%) ≥5 years[y] and up to 18.6 y past their leukemia diagnosis (median, 11.3 y). Median age at study participation was 61 y (range 28y-93y), 23% had experienced disease relapse, and 63% had received allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT). Overall, quality of life (QoL) and general life satisfaction (gLS) summary scores were higher in AML LTS (p < 0.001) compared to age-/sex-matched reference cohorts, although differences were small and likely not clinically relevant. However, we identified subgroups of
