Moreover, the impact of frailty on the health-related quality-of-life (QOL) remains unknown. We investigated the relationship between frailty and IADL and the impact of frailty on QOL decline in patients with urological cancers. METHODS: We retrospectively evaluated 1992 patients with urological cancers who initially presented as outpatients in our hospital between January 2017 and November 2022. We evaluated frailty and IADL using the Geriatric 8 (G8) and Tokyo Metropolitan Institute of Gerontology Index of Competence (TMIG). A global QOL was evaluated by the QLQ-C30. The primary outcome was the TMIG cutoff setting corresponding to the G8≤14 and percentage of agreement. Secondary outcomes included the effect of frailty on poor global QOL in patients with urological cancers. RESULTS: Of 1992 patients, median G8, and TMIG were 14 and 12, respectively. The association of G8 and TMIG was moderate (R=0.482). The TMIG cutoff value corresponding to G8≤14 was<11 with an agreement of 57.7%. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that G8≤14, TMIG<11, and metastatic disease were significantly associated with global QOL≤50%. Patients who met the two criteria (G8≤14 and TMIG<11) had a higher rate of poor global QOL in both nonmetastatic (65.4%) and metastatic diseases (73.7%). CONCLUSIONS: We found the TMIG value corresponding to G8≤14 was<11 with an agreement of 57.7%. Accumulation of frailty is significantly associated with poor global QOL at baseline.
