Kaplan-Meier curves demonstrating time to first emergency department (ED) visit by multimorbidity pattern in older transplant-ineligible veterans newly treated for multiple myeloma in Veterans Affairs. Time to first ED visit varied across patterns (log-rank 2-sided P < .001). Shaded areas around solid curves represent 95% confidence intervals. Dashed lines represent median time to first ED visit for each multimorbidity class, as follows: minimal comorbidity = 2.13 years, diabetes and complications = 1.17 years, chronic lung disease = 1.10 years, multisystem impairment = 0.59 years, and psychiatric and substance use disorders = 0.56 years.
