Kumar et al. 202130  SEER Ages ≥65, N   =   1315 (2000-2013) Prediction model of 1-yr mortality on standard chemotherapy Final OS model: CCI, B-symptoms, advanced-stage disease, and older age 
Orellana-Noia et al. 202128  Retro Age ≥60, N   =   244 (2010-2018) Predictors of survival based on GA and chemotherapy tx BLT 18%; TRM 3.3%; inferior PFS and OS with ADL loss and with alternative tx vs conventional chemotherapy 
Wahlin et al. 202117  Registry Age >60, N  =  691 (2000-2014) Survival by period, age, stage, sex, and ABVD vs CHOP OS improved: 2010-2014 vs 2000-2009, with ABVD vs CHOP, and ages ≤70 vs >70 yrs 
Rodday et al. 202137  SEER Ages ≥65, N   =   2686 (2000-2013) Survival by tx and stage with Cox regression, competing risk, and propensity HL-specific survival for full tx vs partial tx (for advanced stage): HR 3.26 and “other cause” survival HR 1.76
 
Overgaard et al. 202240  Retro Ages ≥60, N   =   1554 (2000-2021) Survival by stage and tx with multivariable analyses 5-yr OS: AVD 64% vs ABVD 63% vs CHOP 46% (multivariable: AVD and ABVD > CHOP) 
Cheng et al. 202215  Registry Ages ≥60, N   =   744 (1961-2019); N   =   401 (2000-2019) 5-yr survival by decade and age with toxicity analyses BLT 21%; survival improved by decade; post 2000: 5-yr PFS 60%, OS 65%, and DSS 76%; improved survival <70 vs ≥70 yrs 
Shah et al. 202216  SEER Ages ≥60, N   =   4957 (2006-2015) Comparison 2006-2010 vs 2011-2015 and by race and clinical factors Median OS by period 4 yr vs 4.8 yr, respectively; 5-year OS inferior among Hispanics 
Goh et al. 202339  Registry Ages >60, N   =   195 (2011-2020) Survival analyses, including by treatment (with Cox regression) TRM 5.2%; 2-yr PFS 64%, OS 71%; 2-yr PFS with anthracycline 70% vs 33% without; Cox OS model: CCI and anthracycline use
