Background: The longitudinal hospital care experiences of older adults with cancer, from the treatment decision-making process until their end of life, remain unexplored. We examined the hospital care trajectories of these patients and identified associated clinical determinants.
Materials And Methods: We linked the ELCAPA multicenter cohort study (patients aged ≥70 with a solid tumor and having been referred for a geriatric assessment between 2012 and 2019) and the Greater Paris University Hospitals' clinical data warehouse.
Article Synopsis
- - The study evaluates the Hospital Frailty Risk Score (HFRS) and its effectiveness in predicting outcomes like care consumption, frailty issues, and mortality among older cancer patients, compared to the Geriatric 8 (G8) screening tool.
- - Data was collected from 587 patients aged 70 and older with solid tumors in a hospital setting, focusing on various health aspects including cognitive function, nutrition, and mobility, using regression analyses to draw associations between HFRS, G8, and various health outcomes.
- - Results indicated that while HFRS was linked to several health impairments and short-term care metrics, it failed to effectively identify issues related to polypharmacy, nutrition, and mood, showcasing
