Socioeconomic status-based survival disparities and nomogram prediction for patients with multiple myeloma: Results from American and Chinese populations.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study aimed to comprehensively investigate the relationship between the survival differences and socioeconomic status (SES) in patients with multiple myeloma (MM) and construct a predictive nomogram to assess clinical outcomes of MM patients.

Methods

The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) census tract-level SES database provides two specialized attributes: SES index and rurality. Using this database, 37,819 patients diagnosed with MM between January 2007 and December 2016 were enrolled. We evaluated the effects of SES index on overall survival (OS) and myeloma-specific survival (MSS) using Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox regression analyses. Thereafter, we included 126 patients with MM from two independent medical centers in China and divided them
