Comorbidity, Disability, and Geriatric Syndromes in Elderly Cancer Patients Receiving Home Health Care

Abstract: The proposed taxonomy will help us gain a more nuanced understanding of older cancer patients' clinical presentation and may lead to a more accurate identification of older patients who might benefit from standard cancer treatment, and those who might experience adverse outcomes.

“…On average, cancer survivors reported experiencing 1.74 co-morbidities compared to 1.31. This result is consistent with other studies, which found that between 69-88% of cancer survivors reported one or more co-morbid conditions [28][29]. However, similar to earlier studies, it is difficult to be clear about the nature and direction of this relationship.…”

“…The presence of comorbidity (e.g., cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hypertension), disability, and/or geriatric syndromes (e.g., dementia), observed frequently in elders with cancer [13], implies a greater level of complexity in their care needs, and in managing their cancer [14]. A person's use of home health care and nursing home care may be an appropriate surrogate for an individual's complexity of care needs (COCN).…”

“…La prevalencia de las tres entidades juntas aumenta en los grupos de edad y son mayores en los más ancianos. Sin embargo la asociación de una o dos de ellas con la edad, no es tan consistente y relacionada, de tal forma que el porcentaje de pacientes con cáncer de mama con disfuncionalidad y síndromes geriátricos es relativamente pequeño (0,7 a 1,7%) hasta la edad de 85 años, momento en que aumenta hasta el 10,2% (43).…”

“…El diferente resultado de los pacientes tratados por cáncer en la senectud puede deberse tanto a tratamientos estándares aplicados que sobrepasan las reservas biológi-cas de los pacientes, como a tratamientos paliativos administrados a pacientes erróneamente etiquetados como no capaces de soportar un tratamiento convencional (43,45).…”
