Blood Biomarkers for Alzheimer Disease and Neuro-injury to Estimate the Association With Cognitive/Functional Decline and Mortality in a Real-world Population of GERiatric Hospitalized Patients (BAD-GER)
Recruiting now
Conditions studied: Alzheimer Disease, Old Age; Dementia
In brief
The BAD-GER study is a multicenter, prospective, three-arm observational study serving to validate a prognostic biomarker algorithm for mortality and hospital readmission; this algorithm will be developed through the retrospective analysis of Alzheimer's Disease and neurodegeneration biomarkers in an already available discovery cohort of 700 previously hospitalized geriatric patients.
