Improving how clinical trials use healthcare data to help older adults
Enhancing the Efficiency of Pragmatic Clinical Trials Using Administrative Data: Analysis of the STRIDE Study
This study is looking at how we can use everyday healthcare information to make clinical trials easier and less costly for older adults at risk of serious falls, so we can better understand what works in real-life healthcare.

What this research studies
This research investigates how to enhance pragmatic clinical trials by utilizing administrative data, which are collected during routine healthcare activities. By leveraging this data, the study aims to follow participants passively over extended periods, reducing the burden on them and minimizing costs associated with traditional data collection methods. The focus is on older adults, particularly those at risk of serious fall injuries, to ensure that the findings are applicable to real-world healthcare settings. The research will analyze the effectiveness of these data sources in determining outcomes in clinical trials.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are older adults, particularly those aged 65 and above, who are at risk of falls.
Not a fit: Patients who are younger than 65 or those who do not have a risk of serious fall injuries may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to more efficient clinical trials that provide valuable insights into preventing serious injuries in older adults.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown promise in using administrative data for clinical trials, indicating that this approach could be effective.
