Abstract:

Abstract Objective The aim of this survey was to describe how geriatric oncology is integrated in undergraduate teaching and graduate training as well as in daily clinical oncology practice in Japan. Methods All schools of medicine in Japan are allied with graduate schools of medicine. We conducted a survey of all Japanese medical and graduate schools (n = 81), and designated cancer hospitals (n = 437) from July 2018 to August 2018. The survey of the schools asked about existence of geriatrics division and geriatric oncology service and if an education curriculum in geriatrics and geriatric oncology was used. The survey of designated cancer hospitals requested general hospital information and the current practice patterns of general geriatric and cancer patients. Results Forty-eight medical schools (59%) participated in this survey, and teaching in geriatrics and geriatric oncology was implemented in 23 schools and 1 school, respectively. Forty-two graduate schools of medicine (52%) responded; five had an education curriculum in geriatrics, but none provided geriatric oncology training. Among 151 participating hospitals (35%), 5 had a geriatrics division and 20 hospitals employed geriatricians. There was no geriatric oncology service or geriatric oncology specialists in any of the 151 hospitals. Seventy percent of the hospitals reported performing a geriatric assessment for at least some older adults with cancer. Conclusions This survey provides information on the current state of Japanese education and clinical practice in geriatric oncology. In Japan, a nation with among the largest population of older citizens in the world, education and training greatly need to be promoted to disseminate a core set of geriatrics knowledge and skills to students, trainees and healthcare professionals.

Abstract:

The article is a lecture on the history of development and the current state of geriatric medicine. The purpose of the lecture is to consider the stages of the formation of geriatrics as a scientific and clinical discipline and to substantiate its significance. The lecture defines concepts such as holistic approach, complex geriatric assessment, geriatric syndrome. The role of the founders of international and domestic geriatrics, such as M. Warren, B. Isaac, D. Sheldon, I.I. Mechnikov, V.N. Anisimov, E.S. Pushkova, is described. Various directions of geriatric medicine are considered and the necessity of their study is justified. The results of scientific research in geriatrics are analyzed. The basic principles of the ortho-geriatric approach, which becomes crucial for the successful treatment of elderly patients with fractures, as well as the features of geriatric rehabilitation, geriatric cardiology, are described. In conclusion, the author offers several models for the development of geriatric medicine.

Abstract:

The current shortage of nurse researchers in geriatrics adversely affects the capacity of nurses to conduct research to advance the evidence-based care of older adults. In an effort to generate interest in geriatrics and geriatric nursing research, the Duke University School of Nursing designed a summer internship for four students enrolled in the accelerated baccalaureate nursing (ABSN) program. This paper describes the experience of these ABSN students and the staff and faculty who worked with them. The program design, staff and faculty experiences, benefits and challenges, as well as recommendations for future programs are discussed. The purpose of this article is to highlight the benefits and challenges of offering research experiences to nursing students in an ABSN program to stimulate interest in geriatrics and geriatric nursing research.

Abstract:

39 Background: Older adults are likely to have coexisting health conditions, polypharmacy and functional limitations. The geriatrician may have a pivotal role in risk assessment, prevention and treatment of comorbidities and addressing geriatric syndromes. The purpose of this study is to describe the growth and development of, and the role of a Geriatrics Service (GS) in a cancer center. Methods: A GS was founded in MSKCC in 2009. Since then it has grown to provide inpatient (IP) and outpatient (OP) care for older adults undergoing cancer diagnosis, surveillance or active treatment. It offers preoperative evaluations, geriatric assessment (GA) and follow-up shared- care. Recently, a Transitional Care Management (TCM) program was established for patients at increased risk of rehospitalization. The GS strives to develop an interprofessional educational geriatrics curriculum and to participate in quality and research projects focused on cancer and aging. Results: Between 2009 and 2014 a total of 6679 new patients were evaluated by the GS. 16% of the patients were 65-75, 70% were 76-85 and 14% were older than 85. 46% were male and 84% were white. 15% were IP and 85% were OP consultations. 13% of the OP consults were for GA, the rest were preoperative evaluations. All patients seen preoperatively who are admitted after surgery, are followed postoperatively by the IP geriatrics team. In total, 4 Geriatricians, 2 Geriatric Nurse Practitioners (GNP) and 3 RNs were recruited. The number of follow-up visits increased from 143 in 2009 to 733 in 2014. The new TCM program based on close communication between the IP and OP GNP has been successful in keeping frail patients from frequent rehospitalizations. Noon conferences on geriatrics for the house staff, a biannual course on “Advancing Nursing Expertise in the Care of Older Adults with Cancer” and a monthly interprofessional meeting for the discussion of Geriatric Clinical Complex Cases (GCCC) are ongoing. Research has focused on risk assessment and the use of telemedicine in geriatric patient care. Conclusions: The establishment of a GS in a cancer center was very well received and embraced by the oncologists showing an unmet need in the care of the older cancer patient. The potential reproducibility beyond the cancer center will be discussed.

Abstract:

As the need for more information on age-related clinical pharmacology grows, there will be an increased emphasis on research involving elderly individuals. Ethical concerns surrounding the protection of elderly research subjects is increasingly a topic of debate. The increased vulnerability of institutionalized elderly, recruitment and retention of elderly subjects, and informed consent are important issues that affect the conduct of research in this population. Investigators should be aware of the special problems associated with research in the older population and be prepared to deal with these before embarking on a research project. This article provides the pharmacy practitioner with an introduction to the basic ethical principles relating to the conduct of research involving the elderly and gives an overview of some of the important problems that may be encountered. Issues such as autonomy, competence, informed consent, proxy, and rights of privacy are outlined. Circumstances in which elderly patients are deserving of special protections when participating in a research project are discussed and potential guidelines for addressing the unique problems surrounding research in the elderly are offered.

Abstract:

Objective. Aging is a growing public health concern for people, organizations, and governments. The current study was undertaken to provide insights into the global research output on geriatric nursing. Methods. A bibliometric study was implemented using the WoS database for the period from 1900 to 2020. Various tools and measures were used to analyze and visualized. Results. The search strategy found 4923 papers. The oldest paper was written by Beverly C. Andre in 1953. As team size increases, so does the number of citations. The USA was the active country and the highest number of coauthors. New York University was an active institution. Stig Karlsson was the most active author in Geriatric Nursing with 28 articles from Sweden, followed by Koen Milisen and Sandman, with 26 articles each from Sweden and Belgium. The most frequent words in this field were depression, malnutrition, education, Alzheimer’s disease, and dementia. The latest research themes in this field were COVID-19, interprofessional locomotive syndrome, emergency nursing, and public health. The most influential papers were specified. Journal of the American Geriatrics Society was the most active journal. Conclusions. Geriatric nursing is a rooted field and has received special attention in the last decade. Policymakers, especially in developing countries, should pay attention to geriatric nursing as a specialty of nursing to solve aging issues they would face considering the increasing elderly population.

Abstract:

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) was recognized as universal health problem for population. It can result in a systemic review of epidemiology, etiology, risk factors, and treatment management was reporting the incidence of CKD about children, adult, and geriatric patients by using the research articles from 1982 to 2020. The object of study to find out a incidence about epidemiology, etiology, risk factor, and treatment management for all age groups with CKD patients in review articles. The discussion in this study systemic mini-review was about CKD in children, adult, and geriatric patients. In 2012, 2018 and 2019 epidemiology is mostly geriatrics are effected with CKD compared with children and adults but in 2016 children and geriatrics are equally effected with CKD. In 2017 to 2019 etiology is mostly geriatrics are effected with CKD when compared with children and adults. From 2000 to 2010 and 2011 to 2020 risk factors are mostly children’s are effected with CKD having risk factors to compare with adults and geriatrics. The treatment management from 1982 to 2020 the medications are intervented like radioactive iodine, Azathioprine, methotrexate, lisinopril, hemodialysis, methotrexate, and lisinopril for all age groups of CKD patients. The study was concluded that patients with CKD has increased the epidemiology, etiology, risk factor, and treatment management on children, adult, and geriatric patients with CKD. Future research should investigate adequate information about children, adults, and geriatric patients with CKD for better outcomes in further study.

Abstract:

Comprehensive care towards geriatric health can be sustained by having good knowledge and attitude among the providers. Hence, this research aims to measure the knowledge and attitude of the final year medical students towards geriatric health and determine the associated factors. A cross-sectional study was conducted among the students using structured questionnaires of Geriatric-Attitude-Scale and Palmore-Facts-on-Aging-Quiz was used. Data was analysed using Mann Whitney U test, Chi square test and Spearman correlation coefficient analysis for the association between the score and studied variables. Median score of students’ knowledges is at 14.00 (IQR 13.00) and mean score for attitude is 48.52 (+5.53) respectively. Place of residence (P= 0.01) and presence of grandparents (P= 0.04) were the significant factors that affected knowledge of students towards geriatrics while number of siblings (P= 0.05) influenced attitudes of students towards geriatrics. Improvement of current geriatric curriculum should be done with more refined implementation of gerontology course in the basic medical learning.

Abstract:

Abstract Geriatric Research Education and Clinical Centers (GRECCs) are centers of excellence funded by the Veterans Administration for the advancement and integration of research, education and clinical activities in geriatrics and gerontology to improve the health, and health care of, older Veterans. The GRECC Connect program expands access to care for rural-residing older Veterans and caregivers. Eastern Colorado GRECC Connect integrates Associated Health Trainees (Audiology, Psychology, Social Work, Pharmacy) and Geriatric Medicine Fellows into interdisciplinary tele-geriatric and tele-palliative care consultations provided to outlying community-based outpatient clinics. The formal telehealth training includes: (1) an initial didactic orientation to introduce skills, common challenges, and important tips when working with older patients and caregivers via telehealth; (2) direct observation and modeling by preceptors, followed by a structured opportunity to debrief what the trainee observed and address questions; and (3) opportunities to provide Geriatric telehealth services, supported by the interprofessional team and feedback and reflection. A formal competency assessment, standardized observation protocol and debriefing guide support the development and assessment of telehealth competencies. During exit interviews, trainees indicated that these experiences offered unique opportunities to develop their clinical skills, particularly related to active listening and communication. They identified their involvement with GRECC Connect as a highly valued aspect of their Geriatrics training. Rigorous training in telehealth is an essential aspect of workforce development in Geriatrics and Gerontology given the concentration of older adults in rural areas. During this session, we will highlight the value of telehealth training for workforce development in Geriatrics and Gerontology.

Abstract:

Burns are a significant public health issue that result in more than 180 000 fatalities annually. For specialized burn care, the geriatric burn population is a sensitive and usually challenging group. Despite the fact that all age groups have shown advances in burn care, geriatrics still have worse survival rates. Burn severity, treatment, and outcomes are impacted in geriatrics because of the physiological differences between them and younger adult burn patients. The atrophic skin of the elderly results in deeper burns, or a higher ratio of full-thickness total body surface area compared to younger patients, but it also hinders the healing of both donor sites and burns. The purpose of this research is to review the available information about geriatric burn injuries: prevalence, management and clinical outcome. Elderly people are more susceptible to complications such pneumonia, congestive heart failure, and pulmonary edema. The morbidity and mortality seen in geriatric burn patients are also attributed to altered immunological and inflammatory response driven by age leading to increased hospital stays and more severe complications. Management of geriatric burn patients involves two concepts. the revolutionary theory of eschar excision and wound closure within the first week of hospitalization, and the conventional strategy of reducing physiologic stress by delaying surgery in the early post-burn stage while the development of effective fluid resuscitation protocols, which has most significantly boosted patient survival, is one of the pillars of modern burn care. The epidemiology of burn injuries in geriatrics is quite variable and demands further research.

Abstract:

19667 Background: A standardized geriatric evaluation is essential for the multidisciplinary discussion of elderly patients with gastrointestinal cancer. A geriatric as well as an oncological evaluation are mandatory to offer to these patients the best therapeutic option and improve their prognosis as well as their quality of life. A Geriatric Intervention Team (GIT) composed by nurses and geriatrician is working in our hospital. One of its function is to evaluate elderly patients with digestive neoplasms in collaboration with the Digestive Oncology unit (DOU). Methods: The Mini Mental State Examination, the mini-Geriatric Depression Scale and the Get up and go timed test were used for the geriatric evaluation. Results: GIT was solicited for 124 pts over a 3-year period. Their mean age was 79,1 ± 6,3 years old (65 to 96), 45% were men. The neoplasic localizations were: colorectal (53%), pancreatic (17%), esophagus (11%), hepatic carcinoma (7%) and other (12%). There was a clear prevalence of cognitive disorders identified by the Folstein MMSE. Among 65 workable files (complete MMSE), 61% of the patients had an abnormal (< 26). The observation of a time and/or space disorientation was noticed in 30% of the cases. The mini-GDS used to detect depression, was positive in 43% of the evaluations. The Timed Get Up and Go Test was used to evaluate the walking capacity self-sufficiency and the risk of falls. It was superior to 20 seconds in 40% of cases. For 77 geriatrics evaluation, the GIT was solicited before the decision of the best treatment to choose. In this population, we can clearly identify 3 clusters of patients: well-matched patients (34%) who received chimiotherapy; intermediate patients (26%) who needed a new geriatric assessment before decision; and frailed patients (40%) who received only palliative treatment. In the second group, after geriatrician intervention, 60% of patients finally received a chemotherapy. Conclusions: These results show the benefit of a close collaboration between geriatricians and oncologist. In the daily management of elderly patients, alteration are at least detected in 55% of patients by geriatric assessment. Moreover, the GIT is allow to securely classify the patients between the 3 categories and help to decision in the intermediate group. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract:

87 Background: ASCO recommends utilization of the G8 screening tool to assist in predicting mortality, but there are limited data in Hispanic patients. Our practice utilizes the G8 to identify patients who may need additional support and/or treatment modifications to decrease risk of mortality. Therefore, we built the G8 in our Electronic Medical Record (EMR) with reflex to geriatric consultation in our Hispanic-rich patient population. Methods: This is an implementation study with a team-based approach to improve the utilization and increase geriatric oncology assessments in our practice. The G8 is a geriatric screening tool of eight questions (completion time: 3 to 5 minutes). If the score is </=14, a reflexive geriatric consultation box appears on the screen to recommend a referral to Geriatrics for a Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA). Nurses were empowered to complete the G8 on all new cancer patients 65+ years. Results: 215 patients had a G8 recorded in the EMR between August 2018 - March 2019. Providers completing: 10 (5%) MD/APP, 205 (95%) RNs. 119 patients were non-Hispanic, 96 were Hispanic. Of Hispanic patients, 74 (77%) spoke English, 5 (5%) spoke English and Spanish, 16 (17%) spoke Spanish, 1 (1%) spoke other. 205 patients (95.3%) were 65+ years. Average G8 score for all patients 65+ was 11.1. Of patients 65+, 169 patients (82%), scored </=14, indicating higher mortality risk. Conclusions: Integration of the G8 into our practice has been slow and steady. We believe this is partly due to lack of awareness of the benefit of the G8. Empowering nurses to complete the G8 has improved screening at our cancer center. To further improve awareness and utilization, we have initiated an interprofessional education lecture series regarding care of geriatric oncology patients, which provides nurses CNE. As we gather data on the reflex referrals to geriatricians for CGA, we will work on goals to increase MD/APP engagement. [Table: see text]

Abstract:

Abstract Growing research in geriatric medicine is a priority area. Currently, involvement of geriatricians in research lags behind other specialties. The reasons for this are multifactorial, but a lack of training infrastructure within geriatric medicine higher specialist training is contributory. This is widespread across European countries and internationally. The Geriatric Medicine Research Collaborative (GeMRC) offers an opportunity to engage trainees in research, regardless of their previous individual research experiences. Utilising national trainee networks, GeMRC is able to conduct large-scale projects within short periods of time that can have real impact upon patient care. We consider that embedding GeMRC within higher specialist training with formal college support will assist to upskill trainee geriatricians in research methodology. Collaboratives are internationally recognised across disciplines. Expansion across European and international countries offers the opportunity for international collaboration in geriatric medicine. International trainee-led networks will enable the conduct of large-scale global projects in geriatric medicine.

Abstract:

Abstract Currently, an important measure of Advance Care Planning (ACP), Advance Health Care Directives (AHCD) documentation rate, is at 33% for older adults in the United States. To address this disparity, geriatric faculty in an academic geriatric primary care practice aimed to train geriatrics fellows and other interprofessional (IP) learners to engage patients in ACP. As part of a Geriatric Workforce Enhancement Program funded by the Health Resources and Services Administration, geriatrics faculty and the Medical Legal Partnership for Seniors based at University of California Hastings College of Law provided ACP training to fellows and IP learners, including social work interns. In practice, the fellows and social work interns collaborated to incorporate ACP into patient visits and follow-up telephone calls. To monitor ACP progress, research staff reviewed patients’ electronic health records and performed descriptive analysis of the data. In 21 months, 4 geriatrics fellows built a panel of 59 patients who on average had 3 office visits and 7 telephone calls per person. Prior to clinic enrollment, 12 (20.3%) patients had preexisting AHCD, and 47 lacked AHCD documentation. After ACP intervention, 42 of 47 patients without AHCD documentation engaged in ACP discussion. Of those who engaged in ACP discussion, 24 completed AHCD, raising AHCD completion rate to 61%, or 36 patients in the panel of 59. ACP is a complex process that benefits from skilled communication among interprofessional providers and patients. Findings underscore the potential advantages of IP training and engaging patients in ACP discussion in an academic primary care setting.

Abstract:

Geriatric treatment procedure is effective and crucial for aging patients with Chronic Schizophrenia and it can reduce the impact on the nervous system. The aim of this research is to evaluate the effectiveness of geriatrics in aging people in the condition of Chronic Schizophrenia. In addition to that, this research focuses on the health development process. Chronic Schizophrenia has some symptoms that are described in this research process and also this article depicts the value of geriatrics in the treatment procedure for aging people. These psychological issues can be prevented through using pharmacology and also neurostimulators. Through using a secondary data collection method and purposive sampling method, the research has been done minutely. The research also has focused on the causes of Chronic Schizophrenia and also improved the health improvement policy. In addition to that, the description of nurses’ activities to prevent the issues of Chronic Schizophrenia is demonstrated respectively. As mentioned in this research, geriatric is effective because it can display the entire picture of patients’ health issues.

Abstract:

The rise in older population in Ghana is accompanied by challenges that may require trained professionals with specialized knowledge in geriatrics and gerontology to help address. Research, however, points to an existing shortage of geriatric-trained professionals in Ghana; a problem that can be addressed with the education and training of students with interest in aging. This paper offers a review of the state of geriatric and gerontology education in Ghana. The paper specifically examines current geriatric-focused training programs in public universities, and existing national aging policies with implications for the development and implementation of aging education in institutions of higher learning in Ghana. The review findings point to an urgent need for governmental and institutional commitment to promote aging studies as a component of health professions curricula in Ghana. Critical steps to prioritizing and forging a path to instituting geriatric and gerontology education in Ghana are discussed.

Abstract:

9511 Background: One quarter of patients with cancer are 75 year old and over. Previous studies suggested that geriatric parameters improved survival in elderly patients with solid advanced cancer and chemotherapy severe toxicity. A simplified scale would be helpful for oncologist to predict chemotherapy feasibility. The aim was to identify geriatric predictors of chemotherapy feasibility in chemo-naïve elderly patients. Methods: We conducted a prospective multicenter cohort study (NCT00664911). Inclusion criteria were: ≥ 75 years, solid tumor, able to receive at least 2/3 of the standard dose at the first course of treatment. Ten geriatric parameters were recorded at baseline by the oncologist: 1-three words test, 2-date and address for cognitive function, 3-Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL), 4- monopodal stand-up test, 5-hospitalization during the previous year, 6-number of medicines taken for comorbidities, 7-creatinine clearance, 8-albumin serum level, 9-self-rated depressive mood question and 10-presence of a caregiver. The main outcome was chemotherapy feasibility defined by the ability to receive at least 3 months of the planned therapy. Multivariate logistic regression was used. Results: 576 patients were included in 49 centers from 2008 to 2012, 516 (89.6%) were eligible for analysis. Mean age was 81 years, 50.6% had colorectal cancer, 69.5% advanced stage and 83.6% had performance status 0-1. Chemotherapy feasibility was observed in 298 (57.8%) patients. Grade 3-4 toxicity was observed in 26.2% of patients. In multivariate analysis albuminemia < 30g/l (adjusted OR =2.34 CI95% [1.43-3.83]) and depressive mood (adjusted OR=1.55 CI95% [1.02-2.35]) were significantly associated with chemotherapy unfeasibility whereas others geriatrics parameters were not. Conclusions: Albuminemia and self rated depressive mood status were independently predictive for chemotherapy feasibility in elderly patients with solid tumor. Unexpectedly others geriatrics parameters were not independent predictors. Clinical trial information: NCT00664911.
