117 Prognostic factors for 90-day acute care outcomes in lung cancer patients 70 and over

Lung cancer treatment guidelines are based on studies with relatively fit (PS 0-1) and young patients ( ≤70). However, the average UK lung cancer patient is 74 and often has significant comorbidity and frailty, which impacts on outcome. Our aim was to determine the impact of frailty on 90-day acute care outcomes in lung cancer patients at a single tertiary centre.
