Survival And Predictive Factors Related To Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment For The Occurrence Of Healthcare-Associated Infections (Hai): A Cohort Study With Elderly Cancer Patients.

e22053Background: Elderly oncology population(EOP) corresponds to an increasing and heterogeneous group with high risk to infectious complications. Advances in antimicrobial therapy have not accompanied progress in cancer therapy. Identifying at admission the predictive factors for infection and death in the elderly population oncology is highly desirable for offering personalized care. Methods: Prospective cohort involving elderly people with cancer, followed by six months. At admission, evaluation of sociodemographic, clinical-laboratory and CGA variables. The outcomes studied were the first HAI and death. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards analysis identified risk factors for HAI and survival of patients with and without HAI by Kaplan-Meier was compared by the log rank test. Results: 605 patients were eligible, mean age 71.3 (SD ± 7.4). 29.1% developed HAI and 33.0% died during the study follow-up, 14.2% died within three weeks after the diagnosis of HAI. The risk factors for HAI were: risk of malnu...
