Evaluation of a Standardized Geriatric Assessment at Diagnosis in a Prospective Cohort of Elderly Patients with Newly Diagnosed Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Conclusions: In a prospective cohort of newly diagnosed AML elderly patients, an exhaustive standardized geriatric assessment at diagnosis identified high risk patients for mortality. The most relevant prognostic factor was nutritional status, which correlated with overall survival. Other geriatric scores and scales did not impact prognosis, which highlights the difficulty of global evaluation in this population. Patients treated with intensive chemotherapy tended to have a better outcome.DisclosuresNo relevant conflicts of interest to declare.
