Proposed algorithm for systematic age-adapted patient general condition evaluation at diagnosis in adult patients diagnosed with hematological malignancies. HMs, Hematologic malignancies; ECOG PS, Performance status according to ECOG scale; LEE INDEX (Lowcase); Lee’s Index for Older Adults [2]; GAH, Geriatric Assessment in Hematology [10]; CGA, Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment. * In times of crisis, the evaluation might be simplified to the first two steps: ECOG and LEE in 50+. ** For patients 65+, GAH might also be substituted by the six-item version [21] of the G8 questionnaire (abnormal geriatric assessment if the score is 6 or more points) in both hematological and non-hematological patients.
