Real-world evidence of multiple myeloma treated from 2013 to 2019 in the Hospital District of Helsinki and Uusimaa, Finland.

The rapid development of multiple myeloma (MM) management underscores the value of real-world data. In our study we examined 509 adult MM patients treated with immunochemotherapy (ICT) with/without stem cell transplantation (SCT) from 2013 to 2019 in the Hospital District of Helsinki and Uusimaa, Finland. Our study was based on computational analyses of data integrated into the hospital data lake. After 2017, treatment pattern diversity increased with improved access to novel treatments. 5-year survivals were 74.4% (95% CI: 65.5-84.5) in SCT-eligible and 44.0% (95% CI: 37.6-51.4) in non-SCT subgroups. In the SCT-eligible subgroup, high first-year hospitalization costs were followed by stable resource requirements. Hospital data lakes can be adapted to carry out complex analysis of large MM cohorts.
