Abstract Body:
Purpose: We examined factors associated with frailty using claims and electronic health record data for childhood, adolescent, and young adults (CAYA) diagnosed with cancer prior to age 40 in Florida.

Our analysts leveraged claims and electronic health record data to produce the Kim Frailty Index (a deficit-accumulation index score) as our dependent variable. We then employed logistic regression models to estimate the odds ratio (OR; 95% confidence interval, CI) associated with having a frailty index score ≥0.20 (i.e. "frailty
