Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) treatment has undergone a significant evolution with a shift from historical chemotherapeutic regimens to targeted therapies such as Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) and BCL-2 inhibitors. These advancements have been associated with a notable improvement in survival rates with a transformation of CLL into a chronic and manageable condition for most persons with this disease. However, as a consequence of improved outcomes, long-term CLL survivors now face emergent challenges which include a risk of infections, cardiovascular complications, and secondary malignancies.

Background: Discharge against medical advice (DAMA) disrupts continuity of care and is associated with increased readmission rates, morbidity, and mortality.

Methods: This multicenter, cross-sectional study analyzed anonymized data from the IQVIA hospital database, including cancer patients hospitalized in 36 German hospitals between January 2019 and December 2023.
