Description détaillée
Aim:
The study aims 1)to investigate if it is feasible to offer CGA to all elderly (+70 years) patients with the relevant cancer diagnoses as mentioned above in The Central Denmark Region (Region Midt) , 2) to estimate the proportion of frail, vulnerable or fit elderly cancer patients, 3) to investigate the impact of a CGA on the planned oncologic treatment intensity and 4)to investigate the ability of CGA to predict complications to cancer treatment within a three months period.
Method:
All patients referred to the oncology Departement aged 70 years or more with cancer of the head and neck, lung cancer, upper gastrointestinal cancer or colo-rectal cancer, Living in the Central Denmark Region (Region Midt) are offered af Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) on the day of the visit to the oncology outpatient Clinic. Prior to the first visit to the oncology department, the patients are informed that a CGA is planned..The CGA will take place at the outpatient clinic. The results of the CGA, the eventual medical changes and recommendations regarding e.g. initiation of nutritional supplementation, home-care referral or referral to e.g. physiotherapist will be forwarded to the general practitioner and to the oncologist in charge of the treatment.
Outcome:
- The possibility of offering CGA to elderly cancer patients in a larger area, the proportion of patients offered CGA by the oncogeriatric team compared to the actual number of elderly cancer patients assessed by oncologists during a three months period.
- The number of frail vs. vulnerable vs. fit persons is estimated from hospital records and the CGA observations. Their dependency in Activities of Daily Living (ADL) and Instrumental Activities og Daily Living (IADL), their cognitive, depressive and nutritional status and the medication problems are registered as well as the changes in patient´s medication.
- The impact of CGA on the oncologist´s treatment plan.
- The Complications, defined as discontinuation of treatment, hospitalization for other reasons than planned cancer treatment, or death, within the first three month following CGA.

Autre: geriatric assessment
The intervention is individual and based on the Comprehensive Geriatric assessment (CGA) : collection of information on comorbidity, polypharmacy, physical, psychological and cognitive functions, nutrition as well as social status and support. The results of the CGA, the eventual medical changes and recommendations regarding e.g. initiation of nutritional supplementation, home-care referral or referral to e.g. physiotherapist will be forwarded to the general practitioner and to the oncologist in charge of the treatment |

Impact of CGA on the oncologist´s treatment plan
Délai: 3 months
|
To analyse the association between the oncologist´s initial treatment plan (standard dose, reduced dose or supportive/palliative/no treatment) and the CGA conclusion (fit, vulnerable or frail) Pearson´s Chi-squared-test or Fisher´s Exact test is used. In a subgroup analysis on the non-agreed category data on the CGA conclusion and the oncologist´s initial treatment plan. And furthermore to compare the oncologist´s final treatment intensity to the CGA recommendations Pearson´s Chi-squared-test or Fisher´s Exact test are used |
