PURPOSE: An assessment of the impact of functional status (FS) evaluated using a combination of Activities of Daily Living (ADL) and the short version of the Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL), on 3- and 6- month mortality and on 3-month unplanned hospitalizations in older patients treated for lung cancers.

METHOD AND OBJECTIVES: This observational retrospective study was conducted between September 2015 and January 2019 at Marseille University Hospital (AP-HM). During this period, all consecutive outpatients aged 70 years or older referred for a comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) before the initiation of lung cancer treatment were enrolled.

RESULTS: Two hundred twenty-seven patients were analyzed: the median age was 78.7 years and 74.0% were male. Almost half of the patients were metastatic (45.4%). Concerning FS, 41.9% of patients had no ADL-IADL impairment, 30.0% had either IADL or ADL impairment, and both ADL-IADL were impaired for 28.1%. Impaired ADL-IADL was associated with poor nutritional status, depression, mobility, and cognitive disorders. In a logistic regression model, ADL or IADL impairment (aOR = 2.1; 95% CI [1.0-4.2]; p = 0.037) and impaired ADL-IADL (aOR = 2.6; 95% CI [1.2-5.3]; p = 0.012) were independently associated with a higher risk of unplanned hospitalizations within 3 months. In the multivariate Cox model, 6-month mortality risk was independently associated with impaired ADL-IADL (aHR = 2.3; 95% CI [1.3-4.4]; p = 0.008).

CONCLUSION: The combination of ADL and IADL scales to assess FS is a prognostic marker of the mortality risk at 6 months in older patients with lung cancer and should be more largely used by oncologists in treatment decision making.
