Abstract
Background
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) predominantly affects older adults; however, patients 75 years of age and older are often not candidates for curative-intent treatments. Data on their treatment patterns, survival outcomes, and healthcare utilization are limited, and we evaluated these outcomes among patients 75 years of age and older with AML.
