Association between comorbidity burden and patient outcomes has not been adequately investigated in acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). We utilized the National Cancer Database to evaluate the association of the Charlson-Deyo Comorbidity Index (CCI) with one-month mortality and overall survival (OS) in adults ≥60 years with APL. One-month mortality was 16%, 24%, and 32%, and 3-year OS was 61%, 53%, and 38% for patients with CCI 0, 1, and ≥2, respectively. One-month mortality was higher for patients with CCI 1 (OR 1.67, 95% CI 1.29-2.16, p < .001) and CCI ≥ 2 (OR 2.31, 95% CI 1.70-3.13, p < .001) compared to patients with CCI 0. Patients with CCI 1 (HR 1.27, 95% CI 1.10-1.46, p < .001) and CCI ≥ 2 (HR 1.74, 95% CI 1.48-2.06, p < .001) had worse OS compared to patients with CCI 0. In conclusion, CCI is an independent predictor of survival outcomes in patients with APL.
