Abstract
Introduction
Comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) can prevent functional decline in patients with hematological malignancies (HM). The Integrated Care for Older People (ICOPE) program has been developed to monitor intrinsic capacity (IC) and to propose patient-centred interventions to prevent functional decline. ICOPE may also be relevant in older adults with HM. The objective of this study was to describe IC in older patients with HM.
Materials and Methods
Patients aged above 60 years old diagnosed with a HM, with an activities of daily living (ADL) score ≥ 5, were recruited from the Oncological Geriatric department of the Toulouse University Hospital during routine cancer assessment. The ICOPE Step 1 was implemented in all participants using a digital tool. IC was assessed in these domains: cognition, mobility, nutrition, mood, vision, and hearing. A follow-up Step 1 was proposed systematically at six months.
Results
A total of 403 patients with HM aged 82 (±6.5) years underwent a Step 1 assessment. Three hundred and seventy-one (92.1 %) patients presented an altered Step 1 assessment with 2.4 ± 1.4 altered IC domains. The most frequent altered domains were cognition in 203 (50.4 %), hearing in 193 (47.9 %), and mobility in 177 (43.9 %). Two hundred twelve (65.8 %) underwent a Step 1 follow-up at six months.
Discussion
ONCO-ICOPE provides an innovative framework to assess and monitor IC in patients with HM at high risk of functional decline. With a digital solution, its objective is to expand IC assessment and bridge the gap between primary care and oncologic care for a more personalized patient care plan.
