What this trial studies
This observational study focuses on older patients with chronic kidney disease and their eligibility for kidney transplantation. It evaluates the relationship between comprehensive geriatric assessments and the likelihood of being placed on the kidney transplantation waiting list. The study also examines post-transplant outcomes and quality of life, tracking changes in geriatric assessments over time. Conducted at the University Hospital in Caen, France, the study systematically assesses candidates over 70 years old through evaluations by trained nurses and geriatricians.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could improve the selection process for kidney transplantation in older patients, leading to better outcomes and quality of life.
How similar studies have gone: While geriatric assessments are commonly used in various medical fields, this specific approach to kidney transplantation in older adults is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested.
