PCN151 IMPACT OF ADVERSE EVENTS (AES) ON HEALTHCARE RESOURCE UTILIZATION (HRU) AND TOTAL COSTS OF CARE (TCOC) AMONG PATIENTS WITH LARGE B-CELL LYMPHOMA (LBCL)

Total Cost of Care (TCOC) and Total Resource Use

Health care resource utilization and costs associated with nonfatal major adverse cardiovascular events.

BACKGROUND Risk of recurrent cardiovascular events following an initial cardiovascular-related hospitalization remains high despite available interventions. Rates of cardiovascular events as well as associated health care resource utilization and costs are needed to assess the value of treatments. OBJECTIVE To quantify, in patients with previous hospitalization for acute coronary syndrome (AC...

Measurement of pyruvate dehydrogenase enzyme in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma relapse

Background: Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), which is the most common type of lymphoma. NHL comprises a group of clinically and biologically diverse diseases, which range from indolent to aggressive clinical courses. Despite treatment advances in the last three decades with the use of combination immunotherapy, a significant fraction...

Intravascular Large B-cell Lymphoma: A Report of Two Cases

One of the rare variants of extranodal large B-cell lymphoma is intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVLBCL). Characteristics of IVLBCL include intraluminal selective proliferation of atypical lymphoid cells in small to medium-sized vessels. The etiologic of IVLBCL is unknown, but due to the growth pattern of this tumor, it is speculated that IVLBCL is caused by a defect in homing receptor of t...

Impact of lung function on exacerbations, health care utilization, and costs among patients with COPD

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the impact of lung function, measured as forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) % predicted, on health care resource utilization and costs among patients with COPD in a real-world US managed-care population. METHODS This observational retrospective cohort study utilized administrative claim data augmented with medical record data. The study population consisted of p...
