Abstract EN
Comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) is a core and an essential part of the comprehensive care of the aging population.
CGA uses specific tools to summarize elderly status in several domains that may influence the general health and outcomes of diseases of elderly patients, including assessment of medical, physical, psychological, mental, nutritional, cognitive, social, economic, and environmental status.
Here, in this paper, we review different assessment tools used in elderly patients with chronic diseases.
The development of comprehensive assessment tools and single assessment tools specially used in a dimension of CGA was discussed.
CGA provides substantial insight into the comprehensive management of elderly patients.
Developing concise and effective assessment instruments is helpful to carry out CGA widely to create a higher clinical value.
