Journal ArticleDOI
Severity of illness, outcomes, and resource use in elderly cancer patients with deep venous thrombosis.
TL;DR: The similarities in outcomes and resource use between elderly and younger patients suggest that elderly patients with cancer are not at greater risk of serious clinical outcomes or a pro longed clinical course.
Journal ArticleDOI

David Boyce-Fappiano,Kaiping Liao,Christopher Miller,Susan K. Peterson,Linda S. Elting,B. Ashleigh Guadagnolo +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated preferred potential place of death and preferences regarding use of mechanical ventilation in a cohort of Texas cancer patients and found that non-white cancer patients were more likely to express preferences coinciding with aggressive EOL care including dying at the hospital and utilizing mechanical ventilation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stratification in clinical trials of febrile neutropenia
TL;DR: Patients with febrile neutropenia are characterized by well described prognostic factors leading to heterogeneity of risk of serious clinical outcomes, which complicate the design and interpretation of clinical trials of antimicrobial therapy in this population.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association of Bone Mineral Density Testing With Risk of Major Osteoporotic Fractures Among Older Men Receiving Androgen Deprivation Therapy to Treat Localized or Regional Prostate Cancer
Maria E. Suarez-Almazor,Xerxes Pundole,Gerardo Cabanillas,Xiudong Lei,Hui Zhao,Linda S. Elting,Maria A. Lopez-Olivo,Sharon H. Giordano +7 more
TL;DR: Bone mineral density testing was significantly associated with a decreased risk of developing major osteoporotic fractures after adjustment for covariates, and support the clinical importance of performing DXA screening for major fracture prevention among older men with prostate cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aztreonam in the prevention and treatment of infection in neutropenic cancer patients.
TL;DR: It was concluded that aztreonam appears to be a useful agent for the treatment of febrile neutropenic patients, but further study is recommended.
