Abstract:

Abstract The impact of chronic disease on the development and progression of cancer is increasingly recognized. Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a disease of the elderly and many of these patients have multiple comorbidities, which could shorten an individual's life, either directly or by enhancing CLL progression. In normal cells, including buccal cells (BC), it is known that chronic illness and age can shorten telomere length and this is a surrogate marker of overall survival. In the present study, we have examined the relationship between comorbidities and BC telomere length in CLL pat

The aim of this study is to evaluate HRQL in COVID-19 survivors in Italy using the short form 36-items questionnaire (SF-36). Methods: This is an observational study involving adults discharged home following a coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-related hospital admission. Baseline demographic and clinical data including the Cumulative Illness Rating Scale (CIRS) and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scal

Abstract:

Background: Depression is the most prevalent disabling psychiatric syndrome of aging and may lead to important decrements in the elderly depressed patient's health-related quality of life (HRQL). The goal of this study was to determine whether severity of chronic illness at admission, severity of depressive symptoms at admission, or living alone before admission was associated with lack of improvement in HRQL at 3 months postdischarge among elderly depressed inpatients. Methods: Subjects were 100 consecutive patients admitted to a 26-bed inpatient geriatric psychiatry unit from 1994 through 19

Abstract:

Cancer treatment outcomes are significantly influenced by patient-specific risk factors and chemotherapy regimen effectiveness. A hospital-based prospective study was conducted to evaluate the relationship between various risk factors and chemotherapy treatment outcomes in 150 cancer patients. Patient data was collected using standardized assessment tools including the Barthel Index for physical functioning, Cumulative Illness Rating Scale for comorbidities, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale for psychological assessment, and Medical Social Support Survey Scale for social support evaluation

Abstract:

Background: Treatment of elderly glioblastoma patients (EGP) is a challenge in neuro-oncology. The comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) is currently used to assess geriatric oncological patients with other types of tumors. We performed a large retrospective study to analyze its predictive role in EGP. Methods: Patients aged ≥65 years with histologically confirmed diagnosis of glioblastoma were enrolled. CGA included the following tests: the Cumulative Illness Rating Scale-Comorbidity and Severity Index, Activities of Daily Living, Instrumental Activities of Daily Living, the Mini Mental St

Abstract:

Background/Objectives: Multiple myeloma (MM) is a plasma cell neoplasm predominantly diagnosed in older adults. However, the significance of defining patient frailty, as well as identifying the most suitable and reliable tools for its assessment, remains to be firmly established. Methods: This retrospective observational study investigated 36 patients aged 65 or older who underwent Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA). The average patient age was 76 (SD 6.22), with 33.3% being female. Patients were evaluated using the International Myeloma Working Group Frailty Index (IMWG-FI) and the 40-i

Aim. To assess the possibilities of using comorbidity indices together with the GRACE (Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events) scale to assess the risk of hospital mortality in acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Materials and methods. The registry study included 2,305 patients with ACS. The frequency of coronary angiography was 54.0%, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) 26.9%. Hospital mortality with ACS was 4.8%, with myocardial infarction 9.4%. All patients underwent a comorbidity assessment according to the CIRS system (Cumulative Illness Rating Scale), according to the CCI (Charls
