Hospital activity before and after diagnosis of monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS)

Research output: Contribution to journalMeeting abstractpeer-review

Abstract

Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS; ICD-O-3=9761/1) is a premalignant clonal disorder that progresses to myeloma at ~1% per year. Whilst MGUS is often diagnosed incidentally and other symptoms of myeloma are absent, several follow-up studies have reported relationships with co-morbidities and poor survival. Illness patterns before MGUS diagnoses have, however, not been examined in relation to those seen after diagnosis. Here we compare hospital activity of people with MGUS and patients with mature B-cell malignancies to that in the general population.
