    Abstract: 12034 Background: At ASCO 2019, we showed that the Memorial Sloan Kettering (MSK) Geriatric Co-management (GERI-CO) program was associated with improvement in 90-day postoperative mortality rate. Now, we present factors associated with the use of such program. Methods: At MSK, patients aged 75+ can be referred for perioperative GERI-CO. We retrospectively reviewed the available data of patients aged 75+ who underwent surgery within two months of their initial visit with the surgeon (2011 to 2019). Patients that were referred for GERI-CO were compared with those who were not: sociodemographic, frailty, comorbid conditions, and surgery characteristics. Frailty level was determined using the MSK Frailty Index (score ranges from 0-11, higher scores suggest more frailty). Multivariable regression analysis was used to assess factors associated with the use of the GERI-CO Program. Results: In total 12,398 patients (4422, 35.7% GERI-CO) were included. Average time from surgical consult to geriatric visit was 9 days. Patients in the GERI-CO program were older (80.7 vs. 79.6), less likely to be non-Hispanic White (87% vs. 91%), have English as primary language (84% vs. 89%), and be fit (12% vs. 17% with MSK-FI 0). They were more likely to have stroke history (5% vs. 4%), have diabetes (DM) (25% vs.20%), hypertension (78% vs. 71%), and peripheral vascular disease (14% vs. 12%), but less likely to have cardiac disease (22% vs. 26%), myocardial infarction (MI) (7% vs. 10%), pulmonary disease (13% vs. 16%). Patients referred for GERI-CO were more likely to undergo 3+ hours surgeries (25% vs. 8%), with 100+ cc intraoperative blood loss (41% vs. 22%), and hospital length of stay (LOS) of 3+ days (42% vs. 19%). In multivariable analysis, being frail (OR = 1.3 and 1.6 for MSK-FI 1-2 and 3+), longer surgery (OR = 2.6 and 3.6 for operation time 1.5-3 and 3+ hours), longer LOS (OR = 1.3 and 1.5 for LOS 1-2 and 3+ days), older age (OR = 1.06), having DM (OR = 1.15) were associated with higher likelihood of GERI-CO while having history of cardiac disease (OR = 0.55), MI (OR = 0.84), pulmonary disease (OR = 0.69) were associated with less likelihood of referral for GERI-CO. Conclusions: Our result shows the unique characteristics of patients managed in the GERI-CO program. This has implications for both implementation of GERI-CO program in other institutions and assessing outcomes of these patients.

    Abstract: e24014 Background: The stress from oncologic surgeries for older adults may lead to poor surgical outcomes. In this study, we aim to develop a MSK Surgery Stress Score to measure the complexity of surgery for these patients. The score could then be used for future analyses using datasets where patients undergoing a variety of procedures. Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of adults aged 75 and older who underwent elective cancer surgery in our institution with hospital length of stay of at least one day in 2015 to 2020. Based on surgery stress score developed by Haga et al., we explored various models including at least one or some of these variables as linear or non-linear terms: operation time, weight (kg), blood loss (cc), type of surgery, body mass index, and incision score. The primary outcome of interest evaluated was defined as the composite outcome of death within 90-day of surgery, readmission or emergency room visit or major complications (grade 3-5) within 30 days of surgery. We additionally explored models for a secondary outcome, where minor complications (grade 1-2) were included in the definition, and lastly, we looked at major complications alone as a tertiary outcome. For each of the model and outcomes, we used a logistic regression. We then used the logit transformation of the predicted probability to represent the proposed surgery stress score. Using this score, we evaluated the area under the curve (AUC) for each outcome. Results: In total, 1573 patients were included in the study. The median age was 80 (quartiles 77, 83) and just under half (49%) were male. The median (quartile) operation time was 181 minutes (115, 259), weight was 71 kg (62, 84), blood loss was 100 mL (50, 300), and just over (51%) of patient underwent an abdominopelvic procedure. The rate of 90-day mortality was 3.8%, while the rate of 30-day major complication, readmission and emergency room visit was 7.4%, 10% and 13%, respectively Furthermore, 21%, and 35% experienced primary, and secondary outcomes, respectively. Overall, 18 predictive models for each of the outcomes were developed and assessed. AUC for our different models ranged from 0.59 to 0.73 for the different definitions of our outcomes. Among the various models, the one defined using whether patients underwent an abdominopelvic procedure, incision score, operation time, weight, and blood loss (the latter two both included as non-linear terms) appeared to the front runner. Conclusions: We explored potential models to be used as the MSK Surgery Stress Score. Currently the model is being optimized by additional work. Following optimization of the model, future studies should validate this score in other cohorts of older surgical patients with cancer.

    Abstract: e21543 Background: Our study aims at developing a very short screening questionnaire for the preoperative evaluation of older cancer patients in the surgical clinics. Methods: Our study was based on 47-item electronic Rapid Fitness Assessment (eRFA) data presented last year (Shahrokni, et al. (J Clin Oncol 34, 2016 (suppl; abstr 10011). Frail patients were defined as having any of these criteria: Cognitive impairment (Mini-Cog 〈 3), basic or instrumental activities of daily living dependency, Karnofsky Performance Score ≤80, occurrence of fall in the past year, high level of distress (distress thermometer score ≥7), or Timed Up and Go test ≥ 10 seconds. The dataset was split 2/3 for training set and 1/3 for validation set. The sets were matched based on age and gender. Decision Curve Analysis (DCA) was preformed to assess the clinical utility of different models. Results: Based on a dataset of 1076 older cancer patients who completed the eRFA for preoperative evaluation in the geriatrics clinic, five models of 3 or 4-items showed to have the highest accuracy ( 〉 78%). For example, one 3-item questionnaire (difficulty with bladder and bowel control, fall in the past year, limitation of walking outside home) was able to identify 100% of non-frail patients and 73% of frail patients. If we use this model in the surgical clinic with a presumed 36% incidence of frailty among 1000 potential patients, the model can correctly indentify 266 out of 363 frail patients and all 637 fit patients who may and may not benefit from referral to geriatrics clinic, respectively. Using the validation set, the sensitivity and specificity of the model remained high and we confirmed the utility of the 3-item questionnaire on decision analysis. Conclusions: We identified a 3-item questionnaire to be used as a screening tool to identify frail and fit older cancer patients. Implementation of the tool is needed to evaluate whether it is useful in distinguishing older cancer patient in surgical clinic for geriatric referral. If effective, further studies should look into correlation between this questionnaire and surgical outcomes.

    Abstract: e18149 Background: Community outreach is commonly used to disseminate cancer prevention & screening guidelines (CPSG). Minority, immigrant populations with language barriers tend to be excluded from these activities due to the lack of bilingual professionals available to deliver this education. This program was aimed to test whether CPSG education improves knowledge after being taught by an English-speaking medical professional and nonmedical, community-based interpreters working in South Asian and Hispanic communities in New York City (NYC). Methods: Team members from two cancer centers and community-based minority organizations in NYC partnered to create and deliver programs on CPSG to linguistically diverse communities by an English-speaking medical professional utilizing community-based interpreters. Participant knowledge was assessed using matched pre-post surveys in participants’ respective languages. Behavioral intention was measured using a Likert scale from 1-4 with anchors at 1) “Will not do it” and 4) “Already have/doing it”. Paired t-tests were used to compare pre to post mean score and a p-value 〈 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Behavioral intention rated positively if participants endorsed “will do it” or “already doing” the healthy behavior. Results: 188 community dwelling adults participated in 5 educational sessions, 122 completing pre and post assessments. Median age was 68, two thirds (69%) were female. 94% were born outside of the US, coming from 12 different countries, speaking 6 different primary languages. Knowledge increased from an average of 33% correct responses pre-session to 63% correct post-session – a statistically significant change ( t (121) = -10.58, p 〈 .001). Behavioral intention scores reveal 83-96% participants reporting they will continue to or plan to seek screening and screening information from their doctors as well as make lifestyle changes related to decreasing their cancer risk. Conclusions: This program demonstrates CPSG can not only be taught in English with use of interpreters, but can be successfully received by immigrant community participants who historically may not have these programs available to them due to language barriers.

    Abstract: 39 Background: Older adults are likely to have coexisting health conditions, polypharmacy and functional limitations. The geriatrician may have a pivotal role in risk assessment, prevention and treatment of comorbidities and addressing geriatric syndromes. The purpose of this study is to describe the growth and development of, and the role of a Geriatrics Service (GS) in a cancer center. Methods: A GS was founded in MSKCC in 2009. Since then it has grown to provide inpatient (IP) and outpatient (OP) care for older adults undergoing cancer diagnosis, surveillance or active treatment. It offers preoperative evaluations, geriatric assessment (GA) and follow-up shared- care. Recently, a Transitional Care Management (TCM) program was established for patients at increased risk of rehospitalization. The GS strives to develop an interprofessional educational geriatrics curriculum and to participate in quality and research projects focused on cancer and aging. Results: Between 2009 and 2014 a total of 6679 new patients were evaluated by the GS. 16% of the patients were 65-75, 70% were 76-85 and 14% were older than 85. 46% were male and 84% were white. 15% were IP and 85% were OP consultations. 13% of the OP consults were for GA, the rest were preoperative evaluations. All patients seen preoperatively who are admitted after surgery, are followed postoperatively by the IP geriatrics team. In total, 4 Geriatricians, 2 Geriatric Nurse Practitioners (GNP) and 3 RNs were recruited. The number of follow-up visits increased from 143 in 2009 to 733 in 2014. The new TCM program based on close communication between the IP and OP GNP has been successful in keeping frail patients from frequent rehospitalizations. Noon conferences on geriatrics for the house staff, a biannual course on “Advancing Nursing Expertise in the Care of Older Adults with Cancer” and a monthly interprofessional meeting for the discussion of Geriatric Clinical Complex Cases (GCCC) are ongoing. Research has focused on risk assessment and the use of telemedicine in geriatric patient care. Conclusions: The establishment of a GS in a cancer center was very well received and embraced by the oncologists showing an unmet need in the care of the older cancer patient. The potential reproducibility beyond the cancer center will be discussed.

    Abstract: 12036 Background: Patients with prolonged hospital stay following surgery are at higher risk of readmission, emergency room visits, and mortality. In our study, we assessed the relationship between Geriatric Comanagement (GERI-CO) and adverse outcomes among these patients. Methods: In a retrospective study, patients aged 75+ with cancer who had hospital length of stay longer than 75% of cohort (8 days or longer) postoperatively at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center from 2011-18 were studied. GERI-CO status was obtained from medical records. Differences in sociodemographic, frailty, surgery, and comorbid conditions between GERI-CO and non-GERI-CO patients were assessed. Frailty was assessed by Memorial Sloan Kettering Frailty Index, score 0 to 11, higher score reflective of more frailty. Composite adverse outcome is a composite score of 30-day readmission, or emergency room visit, or 90 day mortality. Multivariable regression analysis was used to assess the relationship between GERI-CO and postoperative adverse outcome. Results: In total 1118 patients (634, 56.7% in the GERI-CO) were included. Patients in GERI-CO were older (80.8 vs. 79.9), more likely to undergo 3+ hours of surgery (66% vs. 43%), have 100+ cc intraoperative blood loss (78% vs. 72%), and have liver disease (16% vs. 10%), but were less likely to have kidney disease (19% vs. 25%), cardiac disease (28% vs. 35%), myocardial infarction (8% vs. 12%), pulmonary disease (15% vs. 20%), ASA-PS 4+ (11% vs. 21%) compared to non-GERI-CO patients. Gender, Frailty and the rest of comorbid conditions, and average length of stay (15 days) did not differ between groups. GERI-CO patients were less likely to have 30-day hospital admission (11% vs. 18%), emergency room visit (14% vs. 22%), or 90 day mortality (6% vs. 15%), and composite adverse outcome (20% vs. 37%) compared to non-GERI-CO patients. In the multivariable analysis, after adjustment for age, frailty, ASA-PS, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, kidney, cardiac and pulmonary disease, patients in GERI-CO were less likely to have composite adverse outcome (OR = 0.57, p = 0.002). Conclusions: GERI-CO program for patients with prolonged length of stay following surgery is associated with reduced 30-day hospital readmission, emergency room use, and 90-day mortality.

    Abstract: The aging of the population is a real concern for surgical oncologists, who are increasingly being asked to treat patients who would not have been considered for surgery in the past. In many cases, decisions are made with relatively little evidence, most of which was derived from trials in which older age was a limiting factor for recruitment. Methods This review focuses on risk assessment and perioperative management. It describes the relationship between age and outcomes for colon, lung, hepatobiliary, and head and neck cancer, which are predominantly diseases of the elderly and are a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Results Effective surgery requires safe performance as well as reasonable postoperative life expectancy and maintenance of quality of life. Treatment decisions for potentially vulnerable elderly patients should take into account data obtained from the evaluation of geriatric syndromes, such as frailty, functional and cognitive limitations, malnutrition, comorbidities, and polypharmacy, as well as social support. Postoperative care should include prevention and treatment of complications seen more frequently in the elderly, including postoperative delirium, functional decline, and the need for institutionalization. Conclusion Surgery remains the best modality for treatment of solid tumors, and chronologic age alone should not be a determinant for treatment decisions. With adequate perioperative risk stratification, functional assessment, and oncologic prognostication, elderly patients with cancer can do as well in terms of morbidity and mortality as their younger counterparts. If surgery is determined to be the appropriate treatment modality, patients should not be denied this option because of their age.
