Effect of Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment on Short-time Mortality in Elderly Cancer Patients

Older cancer patients referred to Oncology outpatient Clinic at Aarhus University Hospital have for a period been offered Comprehensive geriatric Assessment (CGA) as part of a routine practice. Oncology Department was responsible for planning the CGA. A number of patients did however not recieve this offer as planning failed. This Group of patients will be compared to patients recieving Geriatric assessment. Patients recieving CGA is part of a Randomised controlled study (ID: NCT02837679) comparing CGA without 90 days follow-up to CGA with 90 days of Comprehensive geriatric care. Patients are identified from electronic medical files. Data regarding death is obtained from Medical files.
