Background/objectives: Patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) are susceptible to infections that can affect their clinical outcomes.
Aims: The aims of this study were to assess the following: (1) the incidence of pneumonia in CLL patients treated with venetoclax-based regimens in a real-world setting, (2) the risk factors for event-free survival (EFS), and (3) overall survival (OS).
Methods: This multicenter study included 322 patients from eight centers.
Introduction: Patients with hematological malignancies (HM) require intensive chemotherapy with curative intent, especially in case of AML that results in more frequent admissions to Intensive Care Units (ICU). Due to our knowledge, this study is the first multicenter retrospective analysis in Polish population.
Methods: A total of 200 patients with HM hospitalized in 4 Polish hematological centers.
