Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Current National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines recommend that comorbidities, including cardiovascular disease (CVD), be considered when selecting tyrosine kinase inhibitors for the treatment of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). We report here the prevalence of CVD and its risk factors in patients with CML treated by community-based United States (US) oncologists. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Adult patients with a confirmed diagnosis of CML and ≥ 1 encounter after the first date of CML diagnosis in an electronic medical record database between January 1, 2005 and October 31, 2014 were enrolled. CVD conditions/risk factors were assessed at baseline and during the 5-year follow-up period using International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, Clinical Modification diagnoses codes and information from physician progress notes. One-year prevalence estimates were age- and gender-standardized for comparison to annual rates in the US population. RESULTS: A total of 1639 patients were included. At 5-year follow-up, the prevalence of CVD conditions and CVD risk factors was 33.0% and 77.7%, respectively. Compared with the general US adult population, the standardized prevalence rates at 1 year in patients with CML were significantly higher by factors of 1.3 to 3.5 times for CVD conditions, and 20% to 40% significantly higher for hypertension, diabetes, and obesity (P < .001). The prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors was not significantly higher in patients residing in the US Stroke Belt. CONCLUSION: The increased risk of CVD observed in this real-world analysis of patients with CML underscores the importance of current National Comprehensive Cancer Network recommendations to consider cardiovascular risk when selecting tyrosine kinase inhibitors.
