About
The primary purpose of this protocol is to create a registry of older (≥50 years old) patients with Hematologic Malignancies. Our main objectives include: To understand the prevalence of frailty and geriatric impairments among patients aged ≥50y and above diagnosed with a hematologic malignancy at UAB and to gather information that would lend support for future research in this vulnerable population.
Full description
All participants will be invited to participate in a patient reported geriatric assessment questionnaire as well as an objective physical function testing. This includes the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) that evaluates lower extremity performance and muscle strength assessment via hand grip dynamometer. Participants will also complete a 12 item modified version of PRO-CTCAE. This will be administered by trained research staff at the time of study enrollment. Repeat CARE instruments (Follow-up GA questionnaire and Physical Function test) will be administered after the baseline visit to measure changes in patient reported outcomes at 3 months, 6 months, and one year. A one-time blood or saliva sample will be requested and obtained at baseline or a follow-up visit.
