- W1888448523 abstract "Polypharmacy is often defined as use of 'five-or-more-medications'. However, the optimal polypharmacy cut-point for predicting clinically important adverse events in older people with cancer is unclear. The aim was to determine the sensitivities and specificities of a range of polypharmacy cut-points in relation to a variety of adverse events in older people with cancer.Data on medication use, falls and frailty criteria were collected from 385 patients aged ≥70 years presenting to a medical oncology outpatient clinic. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were produced to examine sensitivities and specificities for varying definitions of polypharmacy in relation to exhaustion, falls, physical function, Karnofsky Performance Scale (KPS) and frailty. Sub-analyses were performed when stratifying by age, sex, comorbidity status and analgesic use.Patients had a mean age of 76.7 years. Using Youden's index, the optimal polypharmacy cut-point was 6.5 medications for predicting frailty (specificity 67.0 %, sensitivity 70.0 %), physical function (80.2 %, 49.3 %) and KPS (69.8 %, 52.1 %), 5.5 for falls (59.2 %, 73.0 %) and 3.5 for exhaustion (43.4 %, 74.5 %). For polypharmacy defined as five-or-more-medications, the specificities and sensitivities were frailty (44.9 %, 77.5 %), physical function (58.0 %, 69.7 %), KPS (47.7 %, 69.4 %), falls (44.5 %, 75.7 %) and exhaustion (52.6 %, 64.1 %). The optimal polypharmacy cut-points were similar when the sample was stratified by age, sex, comorbidity status and analgesic use.Our results suggest that no single polypharmacy cut-point is optimal for predicting multiple adverse events in older people with cancer. In this population, the common definition of five-or-more-medications is reasonable for identifying 'at-risk' patients for medication review." @default.
