Health-related quality of life using EQ-5D among chronic myeloid leukaemia patients in health centres in Klang Valley, Malaysia.
Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia (CML) responds well with the targeted therapy drugs, Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors (TKI), that give potentially long-term disease control for the patients. The objective of this study was to determine the disease burden and factors influencing the health-related quality of lif...
