Key clinical point: Even after effective treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors, patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) had notably altered global quality of life (QoL) and health utility scores.
Major finding: Compared with the general population, patients with CML had notably affected QoL in terms of social, role, and cognitive functioning with a mean difference of −16.0, −13.1, and −11.7, respectively. The utility score had a deviation from the reference norm of −0.15 on an average (standard deviation, 0.25) compared with the general population.
Study details: Findings are from a prospective web-based survey that assessed QoL and health utility scores in 383 patients with CML (92% in chronic-phase) in France.
Disclosures: This study was funded by the French National Agency for Research and the French Institute for Public Health Research. The authors declared no conflicts of interest.
