Improving Outcomes for Older Adults Undergoing Radiation Therapy

Improving Outcomes for Older Adults Undergoing Radiation Therapy
  • Short Physical Performance Battery Score at Pre-RT [ Time Frame: pre-RT, time 0 ]

    Physical performance pre-RT, measured by the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), a 10-minute provider-administered test of balance, 4-meter walk, and chair stands, which predicts disability and mortality in older adults and cancer patients. Each of the 3 tests are scored from 0-4 and summed for a total scale range of 0-12, with higher scores indicating better physical function.

  • Short Physical Performance Battery Score at at 1 month follow-up [ Time Frame: at 1 month follow-up ]

    Physical performance at 1 month follow-up, measured by the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), a 10-minute provider-administered test of balance, 4-meter walk, and chair stands, which predicts disability and mortality in older adults and cancer patients. Each of the 3 tests are scored from 0-4 and summed for a total scale range of 0-12, with higher scores indicating better physical function.

  • Short Physical Performance Battery Score at 3 months follow-up [ Time Frame: at 3 months follow-up ]

    Physical performance at 3 month follow-up, measured by the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), a 10-minute provider-administered test of balance, 4-meter walk, and chair stands, which predicts disability and mortality in older adults and cancer patients. Each of the 3 tests are scored from 0-4 and summed for a total scale range of 0-12, with higher scores indicating better physical function.

  • Short Physical Performance Battery Score at 6 months follow-up [ Time Frame: at 6 months follow-up ]

    Physical performance at 6 months follow-up, measured by the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), a 10-minute provider-administered test of balance, 4-meter walk, and chair stands, which predicts disability and mortality in older adults and cancer patients. Each of the 3 tests are scored from 0-4 and summed for a total scale range of 0-12, with higher scores indicating better physical function.

  • Patient-Reported Outcomes Version of Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (PRO-CTCAE) Score at Post-RT [ Time Frame: at end of RT, average of 10 days ]

    Patient reported toxicity outcomes as measured using the PRO-CTCAE scale at post-RT. The PRO-CTCAE is a 5-minute survey, integrating patient perspectives into clinicians’ reporting of treatment toxicity. It is validated for use in medical and radiation oncology and has revealed clinician underreporting of toxicity severity in older patients. The survey is scored on a 0-5-point scale, where higher outcomes indicate worse health outcomes.

  • PRO-CTCAE Score at 1 month follow-up [ Time Frame: at 1 month follow-up ]

    Patient reported toxicity outcomes as measured using the PRO-CTCAE scale at 1 month follow-up. The PRO-CTCAE is a 5-minute survey, integrating patient perspectives into clinicians’ reporting of treatment toxicity. It is validated for use in medical and radiation oncology and has revealed clinician underreporting of toxicity severity in older patients. The survey is scored on a 0-5-point scale, where higher outcomes indicate worse health outcomes.

  • PRO-CTCAE Score at 3 months follow-up [ Time Frame: at 3 months follow-up ]

    Patient reported toxicity outcomes as measured using the PRO-CTCAE scale at 3 months follow-up. The PRO-CTCAE is a 5-minute survey, integrating patient perspectives into clinicians’ reporting of treatment toxicity. It is validated for use in medical and radiation oncology and has revealed clinician underreporting of toxicity severity in older patients. The survey is scored on a 0-5-point scale, where higher outcomes indicate worse health outcomes.

  • PRO-CTCAE Score at 6 months follow-up [ Time Frame: at 6 months follow-up ]

    Patient reported toxicity outcomes as measured using the PRO-CTCAE scale at 6 months follow-up. The PRO-CTCAE is a 5-minute survey, integrating patient perspectives into clinicians’ reporting of treatment toxicity. It is validated for use in medical and radiation oncology and has revealed clinician underreporting of toxicity severity in older patients. The survey is scored on a 0-5-point scale, where higher outcomes indicate worse health outcomes.
