Read our Alzheimer Disease research guide →The BAD-GER study is looking at specific proteins and other substances in your blood that may signal brain health changes and predict health risks in older hospitalized patients. Researchers will analyze your blood samples alongside your medical history to understand connections between these blood markers and outcomes like memory changes, hospital readmission, and survival.
Doctors need better tools to identify which hospitalized older adults are at highest risk for cognitive decline, returning to the hospital, or other serious outcomes. This research aims to develop a simple blood test that could help predict these risks early and guide better care decisions.
