| Official Title: | Validation of a Screening Tool in Geriatric Oncology |
- Validation of G8 screening tool [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
| Estimated Enrollment: | 1650 |
| Study Start Date: | June 2008 |
| Primary Completion Date: | May 2011 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- Validate a new screening tool (G8).
Secondary
- Validate the French version of the screening tool "Vulnerable Elders Survey (VES-13)".
- Evaluate the merits of the screening tools (G8 and VES-13).
- Assess the screening tool in specific populations.
- Assess the number and type of interventions proposed after thorough geriatric assessment.
- Compare the two new tools (G8 vs VES-13).
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.
During the first consultation, patients have an initial clinical evaluation questionnaire comprising the G8. They also complete the self-questionnaire VES-13. Within 30 days, patients have a thorough geriatric assessment, including quality of life and physical function, by a physician without access to the G8 or VES-13 questionnaires. A blood specimen is also collected.
Information on health status and quality of life is collected from medical records or from the doctor after 1 and 5 years.
