Abstract
Background: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a common hematological malignancy treated with regimens containing anthracycline, an agent with cardiotoxicity. However, the cardiac-specific mortality in AML patients receiving chemotherapy remains unknown. Methods: In this population-based study, patients diagnosed with AML between 1973 and 2015 were identified in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database. Cumulative mortality by cause of death was calculated. To quantify the excessive cardiac-specific death compared with the general population, standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) were calculated. Multivariate Cox regression analyses were performed to identify risk factors associated with cardiac-specific death and AML-specific death. Results: A total of 64,679 AML patients were identified between 1973 and 2015; 68.48% of patients (44,292) received chemotherapy. Among all possible competing causes of death, AML was associated with the highest cumulative mortality. The AML patients who received chemotherapy showed excessive cardiac-specific mortality compared with the general population, with an SMR of 6.35 (95% CI: 5.89-6.82). Age, year of diagnosis, sex, and marital status were independently associated with patient prognosis. Conclusion: Cardiac-specific mortality in AML patients receiving chemotherapy is higher than that in the general population.
