To evaluate the clinical burden, disease progression, and prognostic risk factors for lower respiratory tract infection and mortality caused by influenza and respiratory syncytial virus in patients with lymphoma or multiple myeloma.
7-year retrospective cohort study assessing patients with lymphoma or multiple myeloma infected with influenza or respiratory syncytial virus.
Evaluated clinical variables to determine risk factors associated with progression to lower respiratory tract infection and all-cause mortality.
Patients with lymphoma and multiple myeloma experienced a substantial disease burden from both influenza and respiratory syncytial virus infections.
Identified critical clinical risk factors that significantly correlated with development of lower respiratory tract disease and increased mortality.
