What was measured

HRU is defined as any consumption of healthcare resources directly or indirectly related to the treatment of the patient. HRU Analysis may help in evaluating potential costs and budget impact of new treatments from a payer perspective. The rate of transfusions per patient year was calculated as the total number of transfusions divided by the total number of patient-years followed in the study period. Patient-years (PY) were calculated as the duration from baseline to last available HRQL assessment for each patient.

Analysis population: HRU was analyzed for the HRQoL Evaluable Population, a smaller sample than either the ITT population or safety population. Duration of therapy differed between treatment groups. Rate-per-patient year values adjust for these differences.

Groups in this outcome

Azacitidine (AZA)

Azacitidine 75 mg/m2/day by subcutaneous injection \[SC\] for 7 days every 28 days, with a 21 day rest period (optimally for at least 6 cycles) plus best supportive care as needed, including antibiotics and blood product transfusions, growth factors, per physician's discretion.

Conventional Care Regimen

CCRs included: #1 Intensive Chemotherapy: Cytarabine 100-200 mg/m\^2 as a continuous intravenous infusion (CIVI) for 7 days and daunorubicin 45 to 60 mg/m\^² daily (QD) IV on Days 1, 2 and 3 or Idarubicin 9-12 mg/m\^² IV QD for 3 days. Consolidation Therapy (Cycle 2 and 3) = Cytarabine 100-200 mg/m\^2 as a CIVI for 3 to 7 days and daunorubicin 45 to 60 mg/m\^² QD or Idarubicin 9-12 mg/m\^² IV QD on Days 1 and 2. The first consolidation therapy started between Day 28 and Day 70 from start of induction therapy, upon recovery of absolute neutrophil count (ANC) above 1.0 x 10\^9/L and platelets above 75 x 10\^9/L. The second cycle started between Day 28 and Day 70 from start of first consolidation therapy. Best supportive care (BSC) of antibiotics and transfusions, were given as needed # 2 Low-dose cytarabine 20 mg subcutaneously twice a day (BID) for 10 days every 28 days, plus BSC # 3 BSC only = transfusion of blood products, antibiotics, antifungals and nutritional help
