Background: The treatment of newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) in elderly patients is challenging due to various problems. To address these challenges, the European Myeloma Network (EMN) recommends conducting a frailty assessment before NDMM treatment in elderly patients. If the assessment identies an intermediate t or frail group, dosage reduction is recommended to avoid excessive treatment. However, as frailty status improves, there may be a risk of insufcient treatment leading to poor outcomes. In order to explore the optimal treatment approach for elderly NDMM patients in real-world settings, a retrospective analysis was conducted on the effectiveness of dynamically adjusting treatments based on frailty assessment in intermediate-t and frail groups of elderly NDMM patients. Methods: Patients who were initially diagnosed with multiple myeloma and assessed as intermediate t or frail patients by IMWG-GA frailty assessment at the Department of Hematology, Afliated Hospital of Hebei University from January 1, 2018 to April 1, 2023 were included in this study.
