Mashup Score: 3The value and effectiveness of geriatric assessments for older adults with cancer: an umbrella review - BMC Geriatrics - 6 month(s) ago
Purpose This umbrella review aimed to summarise and synthesize the evidence on the outcomes reported and used to assess the value and or efficacy of geriatric assessments (GAs) for older adults with cancer. Methods Six electronic databases, PsycINFO, MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, Cochrane Library and Web of Science databases, were searched to identify systematic reviews with or without meta-analyses that described the value or outcomes of GAs for older adults with cancer. Results Twenty-six systematic reviews were included, of which six included a meta-analysis of the data. Thirteen associations and or outcomes were identified. Overall geriatric impairments predicted or were associated with majority of identified outcomes. However, the type of domains associated with outcomes differed within and across reviews. Only treatment toxicity was statistically significantly lower for patients allocated to the GA intervention group compared to standard care. Systematic reviews without meta-analyses
