A progressive reduction of the number ofhours of care was observed between phases. Monetary value per patient ranged from 1,288 to 3,409; 1,045to 2,786; and 336 to 854 D /month in the short, medium and long term, respectively. Patients with acuteleukaemia and those who received an unrelated allogeneic transplantation were 22% (short-term) and33.5% (medium-term) more likely to receive more than 8 hours/day of care respect to patients diagnosedwith lymphoma and autologous transplantation. In the long term, patients with multiple myeloma weremore likely to receive more care. Better health status and higher educational level were associated withfewer daily hours of care. Informal care varies greatly between stages of the treatment depending on the clinical andsociodemographic factors. Significant caring time and societal costs are associated with such care in bloodcancer patients.}, abstract = {Estimar los factores sociodemográficos y clínicos asociados al cuidado informal a lo largo de lasdiferentes etapas del tratamiento y su valoración económica en pacientes con neoplasia hematológica. 123 pacientes recibieron cuidado informal, con una reducción progresiva del número de horasa lo largo del tiempo.
