GERONTE H2020 project - GERDAT003 - Core intrinsic capacity dataset

<strong>The present document is a dataset generated as part of Deliverable D1.1. of the GERONTE project, which has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Programme under Grant Agreement N°945218. It aims to provide the geriatric oncology professional community with a dataset of intrinsic capacity/frailty data to be included and assessed in the evaluation of older patients with cancer and multimorbidity.</strong> GERONTE is a 5-year research and innovation project (April 2021 to Mars 2026) funded by the European Union within the framework of the H2020 Research and Innovation programme, in response to the health societal challenge topic SC1-BHC-24-2020 “Healthcare interventions for the management of the elderly multimorbid patient”. The overall aim of GERONTE is to improve quality of life - defined as well-being on three levels: global health status, physical functioning and social functioning- for older multimorbid patients, while reducing overall costs of care. To this end, GERONTE will co-design, test, and prepare for deployment an innovative cost-effective patient-centred holistic health management system, hereafter referred to as the GERONTE intervention. GERONTE intervention will rely on an ICT based application for real-time collection and integration of standardised clinical and home patient-reported data. GERONTE intervention will be demonstrated in the context of care of multimorbid patients having cancer as a dominant morbidity, and be adaptable to any other combination of morbidities. An important component of the GerOnTe care pathway was to determine which intrinsic capacity/frailty information is need for optimizing treatment decision making and the subsequent care trajectory. We developed a list of comorbidities and intrinsic capacity/frailty itmes from literature and subsequently asked an expert panel to determine which of these were relevant for oncologic decision making and care. This led to the composition of a dataset to be included in the GERONTE care pathway, which is shown in this dataset. These data can to be included in the evaluation of older patients with cancer and multimorbidity to determine the feasibility of treatment and additional care needs
