Accordingly, we sought to assess the prevalence and ramifications of geriatric events during major surgery for cancer. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Patients and Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p> Using Nationwide Inpatient Sample data from 2009 to 2011, we examined hospital admissions for major cancer surgery among elderly patients (ie, age \u2265 65 years) and a referent group age 55 to 64 years. From these observations, we identified geriatric events that included delirium, dehydration, falls and fractures, failure to thrive, and pressure ulcers. We then estimated the collective prevalence of these events according to age, comorbidity, and cancer site and further explored their relationship with other hospital-based outcomes. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p> Within a weighted sample of 939,150 patients, we identified at least one event in 9.2% of patients. Geriatric events were most common among patients age \u2265 75 years, with a Charlson comorbidity score \u2265 2, and who were undergoing surgery for cancer of the bladder, ovary, colon and\/or rectum, pancreas, or stomach (P &lt; .001). Adjusting for patient and hospital characteristics, those patients who experienced a geriatric event had a greater likelihood of concurrent complications (odds ratio [OR], 3.73; 95% CI, 3.55 to 3.92), prolonged hospitalization (OR, 5.47; 95% CI, 5.16 to 5.80), incurring high cost (OR, 4.97; 95% CI, 4.58 to 5.39), inpatient mortality (OR, 3.22; 95% CI, 2.94 to 3.53), and a discharge disposition other than home (OR, 3.64; 95% CI, 3.46 to 3.84). <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p> Many older patients who receive cancer-directed surgery experience a geriatric event, particularly those who undergo major abdominal surgery. These events are linked to operative morbidity, prolonged hospitalization, and more expensive health care. As our population ages, efforts focused on addressing conditions and complications that are more common in older adults will be essential to delivering high-quality cancer care. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1200\/jco.2015.63.4592","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,2,17]],"date-time":"2016-02-17T04:28:53Z","timestamp":1455683333000},"page":"1231-1238","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1200\/crossmark","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":75,"title":["Burden of Geriatric Events Among Older Adults Undergoing Major Cancer Surgery"],"prefix":"10.1200","volume":"34","author":[{"given":"Hung-Jui","family":"Tan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Hung-Jui Tan, Debra Saliba, Lorna Kwan, Alison A.
