Unplanned hospitalizations in older patients with cancer: Occurrence and predictive factors.
This study aims to investigate the occurrence of unplanned hospitalizations in older patients with cancer and to determine predictive factors. ⋯ Older patients with cancer and an abnormal G8 screening present a higher risk (23%) for unplanned hospitalizations. Predictive factors for these patients were identified and include not only patient and treatment related factors but also GA related factors.
