Multicenter retrospective analysis reveals poor survival in elderly DLBCL patients with resource constraints, suggesting need for improved care.

This research aims to analyze the outcomes of elderly patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma treated in resource-constrained settings.
Conducted a multicenter retrospective study from 2015 to 2023.
Included 156 patients aged 60 years or older.
Examined variables such as age, gender, treatment received, and resource environment.
Utilized Kaplan–Meier curves and Cox-proportional hazard models for survival analysis.
The overall survival for the entire cohort was 9.8 months.
Disease-free survival was reported at 9.4 months.
Survival outcomes were significantly better for patients in enhanced resource settings (OS: 35% vs. 9%; DFS: 30% vs. 7%).
Median DFS for enhanced settings was 20.7 months compared to 9 months in limited resource settings.
