ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
Despite improvements in multiple myeloma (MM) survival rates, data on cardiovascular outcomes in long-term survivors remain lacking.METHODS:
This retrospective case-control study utilized the Korean National Health Insurance Service database (2009-2020) to compare the incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) between patients with MM and a matched control group, focusing on long-term (> 5 years) survivors. A preliminary case cohort (n = 15,402 patients with MM) and a matched control cohort (n = 123,216 patients without MM) were established based on birth year and sex. Following 11 propensity score matching, the final matched cohorts each comprised 15,402 participants.RESULTS:
The case and control cohorts were comparable in mean age (66.2 ± 11.5 years vs. 66.1 ± 11.3 years), sex, age distribution, and comorbidities. By the 8-year follow-up, the cumulative incidence of CV events (12.5% vs. 22.1%) and CVD risk were significantly lower in the case cohort. The 5-year landmark analysis revealed significant differences in CVD incidence between the cohorts (7.8% [case cohort] vs. 9.8% [control cohort]), with variations across age groups and sex, highlighting a significantly higher CVD risk among patients aged < 50 years in the case cohort (P < 0.001).CONCLUSIONS:
These findings underscore the need for vigilant CVD monitoring in MM long-term survivors, particularly those aged < 50 years at first diagnosis. IMPLICATION FOR CANCER SURVIVORS This study highlights the importance of integrating cardiovascular monitoring and risk management into long-term care for MM survivors, with a focus on younger patients and personalized interventions.Key words
