Gender-sensitive frailty prediction using clinical, biological, and psycho-social data

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational project will collect clinical, laboratory (including thrombo-inflammatory and nutritional markers), and psycho-social variables from patients aged over 55 admitted to internal medicine or geriatric units at Policlinico Umberto I in Rome. Investigators will create a gender-oriented frailty index and train an AI tool to apply that index during and after hospitalization. A secondary objective is to examine the relationship between nutritional status, thrombo-inflammatory markers, and the gender-oriented frailty score. The goal is to produce a practical, automated tool that incorporates sex and gender characteristics into frailty prediction for routine clinical use.
