The Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) is a key component of the treatment approach for older cancer patients. The goals of the current study were to develop a brief but non-self-administered cancer-specific geriatric assessment and to determine its feasibility, as measured by (1) the length of time to completion and (2) patient satisfaction.
The literature was reviewed to select validated scales for geriatric assessment across the following domains: functional status, co-morbidity, cognition, social support and risk of malnutrition. Oncologic patients older than 70 years were included in the study.
The instrument was completed by 99 patients (mean age, 78.65 yrs). The mean time to completion of that was 12.9 min (range, 9.5-20.5 min). Most patients were satisfied with its length (63.6%), and most considered it fairly easy to complete (69.7%).
The designed CGA was accepted by most patients and was not perceived to be overly time-consuming.
全面老年评估(CGA)是老年癌症患者治疗方法的重要组成部分。目前研究的目的是开发一种简短但非自我管理的癌症特异性老年评估,并通过以下两个方面来确定其可行性:(1)完成所需的时间,(2)患者满意度。
回顾文献,为以下领域选择经过验证的老年评估量表:功能状态、合并症、认知、社会支持和营养不良风险。研究纳入年龄超过 70 岁的肿瘤患者。
该工具由 99 名患者(平均年龄 78.65 岁)完成。完成所需的平均时间为 12.9 分钟(范围为 9.5-20.5 分钟)。大多数患者对其长度感到满意(63.6%),并且大多数患者认为完成它相当容易(69.7%)。
设计的 CGA 被大多数患者接受,且并未被认为过于耗时。
