Boulahssass R, et al. - Researchers sought to develop a scoring system that could estimate the risk of death at 100 days in elderly cancer patients. Experts attributed 4 points for Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) < 17, 3 points for MNA between ≤ 23.5 and ≥ 17, 2 points for metastatic cancers, 1 point for gait speed < 0.8 m/s, 1 point for performance status > 2, and 3 points for cancers other than breast cancer. At 100 days, the risk of death was 4% for 0 to 6 points, 24% for 7 to 8 points, 39% for 9 to 10 points and 67% for 11 points. As per data, this is the first score developed to estimate early death in elderly cancer patients, which could be helpful in treatment decisions for this population.
