Health-related quality of life and financial toxicity in Chinese patients with multiple myeloma: a two-year real-world multicentre study
HRQoL improved moderately over the 24-month follow-up period, whereas financial toxicity progressively worsened. Greater financial toxicity was significantly associated with poorer HRQoL, particularly among patients with lower SES. These findings may inform future health policy development and economic evaluations aimed at improving the quality of care and financial well-being of patients with MM.
