Health-related quality of life measures are underemphasised in clinical trials and particularly valuable in follicular lymphoma as some interventions can result in substantial toxicity with uncertain impact on overall survival. The report by Marzolini and colleagues provides a nuanced discussion on the merits of rituximab monotherapy versus observation in asymptomatic follicular lymphoma patients. Commentary on: Hou et al.

Objectives: Recent front-line clinical trials used the International Prognostic Index (IPI) to identify trial-eligible patients with newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). However, many IPI-like variants with improved accuracy have been developed over the years for rituximab-treated patients.
Methods: We assessed the impact of International Prognostic Indices on patient enrolment in clinical trials, aiming to exclude low-risk IPI patients based on POLARIX/EPCORE DLBCL-2 trial criteria.

Acquired hemophilia A (AHA) presents a significant bleeding risk. Management involves bleeding control and immunosuppressive therapy (IST) to eliminate inhibitors. This study, encompassing a retrospective cohort of 76 newly diagnosed AHA patients (1997-2022), evaluated IST outcomes such as complete remission (CR), relapse, and mortality rates, alongside influencing factors.
