We aimed to investigate whether the clinical characteristics, the rate of treatment demand and survival differ between chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients <65 years (y) and ≥65 y. Sixty three (46%) patients were <65 y and 74 (54%) were ≥65 y. 28.6% (18/63) of the patients <65 required treatment, while this rate was 44.6% (33/74) for patients ≥65 y (p > .05). The probability of overall survival (OS) was 90 vs. 51% in patients <65 y and ≥65 y (p = .016). In univariate analysis, the age affected OS (p = .04, HR: 0.212, CI: 0.047-0.946). In subgroup analysis, in treated patients, the probability of OS was 73 vs. 49% in patients <65 y and ≥65 y (p = .389). The survival difference between the young and old patients is too high to be ignored and age seems to affect the outcome of CLL patients.
我们旨在探究年龄<65 岁和≥65 岁的慢性淋巴细胞白血病(CLL)患者在临床特征、治疗需求率和生存率方面是否存在差异。63 名(46%)患者年龄<65 岁,74 名(54%)患者年龄≥65 岁。28.6%(18/63)的<65 岁患者需要治疗,而≥65 岁患者的这一比例为 44.6%(33/74)(p>.05)。<65 岁患者的总生存率(OS)为 90%,而≥65 岁患者为 51%(p=.016)。在单因素分析中,年龄影响 OS(p=.04,HR:0.212,CI:0.047-0.946)。在亚组分析中,在接受治疗的患者中,<65 岁和≥65 岁患者的 OS 概率分别为 73%和 49%(p=.389)。年轻患者和老年患者之间的生存差异太大,不容忽视,而且年龄似乎影响 CLL 患者的预后。
