Patterns of multimorbidity in older adults with multiple myeloma: An analysis of SEER-Medicare
Identifying patterns of multimorbidity in older adults newly diagnosed with multiple myeloma provides insight into the burden and clustering tendency of chronic conditions within similar patient groups. Our findings can inform tailored disease management and treatment programs that take these unique multimorbidity profiles into account.
