Abstract
G8 score and tumor burden are significant predictors of efficacy of antibiotic prophylaxis among older adults receiving chemoradiation. In older patients having poor G8 scores and advanced tumors, antibiotic prophylaxis is unsuitable. Interestingly, co-morbidities and poor performance status did not impact efficacy of antibiotic prophylaxis among our elderly patients.
