Abstract
Background
To evaluate if comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA)-guided care improves health-related quality of life (HRQL) in older adults with cancer compared to usual care.
Methods
Relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were identified through biomedical databases. Meta-analyses using DerSimonian-Laird model summarized the difference in the mean change of HRQL scores from baseline across various time points, with evidence certainty assessed by the GRADE tool. Logistic regression via generalized estimating equations analyzed predictors of HRQL improvement.
Results
Potential improvement in the global HRQL score by CGA-guided care at 3 months (Cohen’s d 0.27, 95 % CI −0.03–0.58, moderate certainty), could not be excluded. Larger RCTs or those mandating CGA before initiating anti-cancer treatment were predictors of improved HRQL.
Conclusion
The effects of CGA-guided care on HRQL were variable. Larger RCTs and those mandating pre-treatment CGA tended to report improved HRQL.
