Financial Toxicity Among Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors Participating in Early-Phase Clinical Trials.

Purpose: Financial toxicity (FT) adversely influences patient quality of life and is a barrier to clinical trial enrollment. Early-phase clinical trials (EPCTs) recruit patients who may have high baseline FT and require additional visits and procedures, potentially increasing FT.

Methods: In this prospective survey study, we sought to assess FT at baseline and after 2 months among patients with advanced solid malignancies participating in EPCTs.

Impact of Facility Type on Survival in Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia: A Propensity Score Matched, National Cancer Database Analysis.

Background: Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) is a rare and likely underdiagnosed hematologic malignancy. Due to its rarity and nuances in diagnosis, many patients are referred to tertiary referral centers, although many continue to be cared for in the community setting. Given discrepancies in outcomes based on facility type in related myeloid malignancies, we hypothesized that CMML patients treated at academic centers may have improved survival as compared to patients treated at nonacademic centers (NACs).

Evaluating the role of Day 14 bone marrow biopsy and European LeukemiaNet risk classification in predicting overall and relapse-free survival in acute myeloid leukemia.

Multivariable analysis for overall survival and relapse-free survival demonstrating lack of significant for D14 BM status.

Neuropsychiatric complications of coronavirus disease 2019: Mount Sinai Health System cohort study.

Objective: To describe the frequency of neuropsychiatric complications among hospitalized patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and their association with pre-existing comorbidities and clinical outcomes.

Methods: We retrospectively identified all patients hospitalized with COVID-19 within a large multicenter New York City health system between March 15, 2020 and May 17, 2021 and randomly selected a representative cohort for detailed chart review. Clinical data, including the occurrence of neuropsychiatric complications (categorized as either altered mental status [AMS] or other neuropsychiatric complications) and in-hospital mortality, were extracted using an electronic medical record database and individual chart review.
