Improving care for older adults with chronic conditions
This study is looking at how helpful Transitional Care Management and Chronic Care Management services are for older adults, especially those with frailty and dementia, to see if these services can help them stay healthier, live longer, and spend more time at home instead of in the hospital.
-
Understanding Muscle Loss in Older Adults
This project explores why older adults lose muscle as they age and how that affects their health, including the risk of falls and fractures.
-
Measuring frailty from Medicare records to guide care for older adults
This project uses insurance claims and health record data to identify frailty in older adults so clinicians can choose safer medicines, procedures, and care plans.
-
Evaluating a procedure to prevent strokes in older adults with atrial fibrillation and frailty
This study is looking at whether a procedure called left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) can help prevent strokes in older adults with atrial fibrillation who can't safely take blood thinners, to see if it's a good and safe option for them.
-
Testing a supplement to help manage bone loss in older adults.
This study is looking at how a special probiotic/prebiotic supplement might help improve bone health in women over 60, and it will compare the results with those who take a placebo to see if it really makes a difference.
