Detailed Description: A retrospective, non-interventional cohort study was used to address the study objectives. This study aimed to provide a better understanding of real-world HRU and healthcare reimbursement costs associated with CAR-T therapy among patients with r/r DLBCL. Eligible adult patients with r/r DLBCL who were treated with CAR-T therapy or allo-HSCT between January 1, 2017 to September 31, 2019 were identified from the Centers for Medicare \& Medicaid Services (CMS) 100% Medicare Database. The CAR-T cohort was further classified into CAR-T IP and CAR-T OP cohorts based on the infusion setting. The index date was defined as the date of CAR-T therapy administration or allo-HSCT. Baseline period was defined as three months prior to the index date. Study period was defined from the index date to the end of health plan coverage based on insurance enrollment file or death, whichever occurred earlier. Two sets of comparisons on HRU and healthcare reimbursement costs were conducted, one between IP vs. OP infusion of CAR-T, and the other between patients who received CAR-T therapy vs. allo-HSCT.
