Objectives: Warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia (wAIHA) is a rare autoantibody-mediated disorder, and first-line treatment primarily relies on corticosteroids. This study assessed overall survival (OS) and treatment patterns of wAIHA in Sweden.
Methods: Adults with ≥ 1 primary diagnosis code for wAIHA (or AIHA plus oral corticosteroids (OCS)/immunosuppressants as sensitivity analyses) between 2011 and 2022 were identified from five Swedish national registers and linked through each patient's unique identity number.
This retrospective cohort study described real-world treatment patterns and healthcare resource utilization (HCRU) of patients with warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia (wAIHA) initiating treatment with first-line (1L) oral corticosteroids (OCS) + rituximab (R) compared to 1L OCS. Patients with a wAIHA diagnosis code (D59.11) between 8/2020-3/2022 were identified using US pharmacy and medical claims databases.

It is indicated for treatment for adult patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) after four or more prior lines of therapy, including a proteasome inhibitor, an immunomodulatory agent, and an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody. The objective of this study was to estimate the per-patient US commercial healthcare costs related to cilta-cel (CARVYKTI) CAR-T therapy (i.

It is important to understand critical success factors (CSFs) that may optimize its use in this therapeutic area. We estimated the CAR-T process using time-driven activity-based costing.
