Brief Summary:
The BAD-GER study is a multicenter, prospective, three-arm observational study serving to validate a prognostic biomarker algorithm for mortality and hospital readmission; this algorithm will be developed through the retrospective analysis of Alzheimer's Disease and neurodegeneration biomarkers in an already available discovery cohort of 700 previously hospitalized geriatric patients.
Detailed Description:
Blood levels of amyloid ß-42 (Aß42), total and phosphorylated tau protein (t- and p-tau) associated with other biomarkers of neuro-injury, i.e. neurofilament light (NfL) chain and with biomarkers of neuroinflammation, such as CXCL8, CXCL12 and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), and metabolites analyzable with metabolomic approach, can provide information not only on neuro-injury, but also on risk of re-hospitalization and mortality. The investigators called these biomarkers BAD-GER biomarkers. The BAD-GER study is a multicenter, prospective, three-arm observational study designed to validate a prognostic biomarker algorithm for mortality and hospital readmission. This algorithm will be derived from a retrospective analysis of Alzheimer's Disease and neurodegeneration biomarkers within an existing discovery cohort of 700 geriatric patients. By integrating clinical data, routine laboratory parameters, immunophenotypes, and specific BAD-GER biomarkers into a minimal dataset, the study will assess associations with functional/cognitive status, as well as short-term and one-year mortality and rehospitalization rates.
