Analysis of Hospitalization and Readmissions after CAR T Cell Therapy

Background: Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy is a rapidly emerging form of treatment for hematologic malignancies including lymphoma, multiple myeloma, and leukemia. Hospitalizations and readmissions after CAR T-cell therapy have not been systematically studied. A better understanding of hospital utilization patterns could inform design of clinical trials, advanced planning of hospitalizations, timing of discharge, and frequency and type of outpatient follow-up.
