Abstract
Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML) can be diagnosed at any age and accounts for around a third of all leukaemia diagnoses. Treatment, which can be given with supportive and/or curative intent, is expensive with costly medical interventions and lengthy hospitalization (often due to complications). Despite this, little is known about its lifetime economic burden with few studies attempting to cost the entire treatment pathway. This investigation aimed to address these issues by estimating the phase-specific and lifetime pathway costs of a UK cohort of AML patients.
