It has been established that a subset of cancer patients with febrile neutropenia are stable enough to be managed as outpatients. Unfortunately, geriatric cancer patients are perceived as high risk based on their chronologic age and continue to be admitted. The MASCC risk index and CISNE are validated tools that assist clinicians in identifying stable febrile neutropenic patients who may not require admission for management. The effectiveness of these tools has not been evaluated specifically in geriatric cancer patients being treated in the community setting. 000007993 650__ $$aFebrile Neutropenia$$040326 000007993 650__ $$aHealth Services for the Aged$$019906 000007993 650__ $$aSeverity of Illness Index$$025910 000007993 6531_ $$acancer 000007993 6531_ $$ahealth status indicator 000007993 691__ $$aSchool of Nursing$$041370 000007993 7001_ $$aPusateri, Lisa$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000007993 8564_ $$9a4b8eb19-2343-4696-99f0-d0b4c1250093$$s132834$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/7993/files/Pusateri.Lisa.2020.docx 000007993 905__ $$a/rest/prod/0v/83/81/20/0v8381201 000007993 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:7993$$pstudent-work 000007993 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
