Electronic FRAIL score may predict treatment outcomes in older adults with myeloma.

Introduction: Frailty is a known risk factor for older patients with myeloma. Here we present realworld data using a computer-generated frailty assessment score (FRAIL score), based on 5 clinically derived parameters, in predicting patient outcomes.

Methods: Older patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who received frontline treatment with cyclophosphamide-bortezomib-dexamethasone had their FRAIL score retrospectively assessed.
