Older Age Does Not Predict Inadequate Pain Management in Cancer Patients: A Multicenter Prospective Analysis from Italian Radiotherapy Departments (ARISE-Study)
Unlike previous studies, advanced age itself was not associated with inadequate analgesia. However, the determinants of inadequate pain management differed significantly by age: geographic disparities were predominant among older patients, while assessment timing influenced outcomes for younger patients. Further longitudinal research and targeted interventions are needed to address these age-dependent challenges.
