– more prone to infections
– experience poor healing
– suffer from diminished muscle strength

poor quality of life and death

Falls
• Yearly, 1 in 3 adults over 65 years falls
• In nursing homes, 1 in 2
• In 40% to 60% of the elderly, a fall results in physical
damage, of which 10-15% serious damage

The dangers of lying in bed
“Look at a patient lying long in bed. What a pathetic
picture he makes! The blood clotting in his veins, the
lime draining from his bones, the scybala stacking up in
this colon, the flesh rotting from his seat, the urine
leaking from his distended bladder and the spirit
evaporating from this soul.”
R. Asher. The dangers of lying in bed. BMJ 1946

Etiology
• Changes in the lower urinary tract and innervation
• Patient level
– Comorbidities
– Medication
– Functional and mobility impairments

Consequences
• Impact on self-esteem
• Social withdrawal
• Falls risk
• Caregiver burden

Care giver burden
• 44% care givers for older cancer patients say that the
burden of care is too great
• In many cases, the caregiver is required to make
oncologic treatment feasible!

Take home message
• Many geriatric syndromes interact and amplify each other
• Geriatric syndromes and functional impairments are highly prevalent and easily missed if not specifically looked for
• The presence of geriatric syndromes reflects a patient’s fitness/vulnerability which has significant consequences for oncologic treatment
