Objective:

To understand the impact of the Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) on outcomes in patients with multiple myeloma undergoing autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT).

Key Findings:
  • Add specific survival statistics or percentages to support findings.
Interpretation:

Include a sentence on how findings could influence treatment decisions.

Limitations:
  • Add a note on how the single-center design may limit the applicability of results to broader populations.
Conclusion:

Reinforce the need for targeted support strategies based on SVI findings.
