How to assess frailty? How to identify frail patients?

Geriatric Assessment (GA) ADVANTAGES LIMITATIONS Medical, psychosocial and Not routinely performed in functional capabilities hematology because it is complex and time-consuming. Impairment not identified in routine practice Multidimensional diagnostic process Predict severe treatment-related toxicity Predict OS in a variety of tumors Influence treatment choice and intensity The optimal tools for an appropriate GA need to be established. Wildiers H, et al. J Clin Oncol 2014: 32 (24):2595-2603.

GA or clinical judgement? GERIATRIC ASSESSMENT - age 80 years - ADL - comorbidity (CIRS-G) - geriatric syndromes Curative therapy GA 84 patients DLBC NHL Clinical judgement (blind to the result of GA) Palliative therapy 42 FIT patients by CGA received curative treatment by clinical judgment. 42 UNFIT patients by CGA: 20 received curative and 22 palliative therapy. UNFIT patients had similar outcome irrespectively of type of treatment. GA was an efficient method to identify elderly NHL patients who can benefit from a curative approach. Tucci A et al, Cancer 2009;115:4547 53.

GA or Performance Status (PS)? 363 elderly patients with solid or hematologic tumors (age 72 ys) Among patients with a good PS 13.0% had 2 or more comorbidities 9.3% and 37.7% had ADL or IADL limitation Association between PS, number of comorbidities, and CGA GA Performance Status Repetto L. et al, J Clin Oncol 2002
