Zusammenfassung:	Objectives The present study investigated the clinical significance of the G8 screening tool in elderly oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients using a multicenter analysis. Materials and methods The medical records of 438 primary OSCC patients aged 75 years and older were retrospectively reviewed. To examine the clinical significance of the G8 screening tool in elderly OSCC patients, self-reliance (SR) rates and prognostic factors were statistically analyzed. Results The mean score of the G8 screening tool was 10.9 ± 2.93. The SR cut-off value of the G8 score was 9.5 in a receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. Five-year overall survival rates were 40.1% in patients with a G8 score
