THE BURDEN OF ACUTE MYELOID LEUKEMIA WITHIN THE <65-YEAR-OLD US POPULATION MAY BE HIGHER THAN US REGISTRY ESTIMATES

• The 2012 AML incidence rate of the <65 population was 5.4 per 100,000 (95% CI: 5.2, 5.6), with incidence incrementally increasing with age (ie, lowest in the <18 cohort [3.2 per 100,000] and highest in the 60- to 64-year-old cohort [12.3 per 100,000]) (Figure 2). • AML incidence rates among males were slightly higher than among females, 5.7 (95% CI: 5.3, 6.0) vs 5.2 (95% CI: 4.9, 5.5) per 100,000, respectively. • Males 60 to 64 years old had the highest incidence rate, 13.5 per 100,000 (95% CI: 11.7,
