Association between geriatric co-management and receipt of rehabilitation services in the inpatient postoperative period among older adults with cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Geriatric co-management is associated with a lower postoperative mortality among older adults with cancer. This might be due to a higher use of rehabilitation services such as physical therapy (PT) or occupational therapy (OT). In this study, we assess the relationship between geriatric co-management and PT /OT use.

Methods

This is a retrospective cohort study of adults aged 75 years and older with cancer who underwent elective surgery at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center between February 2015 and February 2018. We used two separate multivariable logistic regression models for PT and OT, adjusted for age at surgery, gender, American Society of Anesthesiology score, preoperative albumin, operative time, and estimated blood loss. We also evaluated the association
