Improving risk prediction for older adults using health records
This study is refining risk prediction models for older adults (65+). It uses electronic health records from UC Health systems to improve how doctors predict health outcomes, focusing on kidney function and long-term health trends.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 65 years old or older.
- You must have been a patient for at least 5 years, so the researchers can look at your health history over time.
- You must have had a blood test for kidney function (called a creatinine test) at some point.
- You must receive care from a UC Health system (like UC Davis, UCLA, or other UC-affiliated hospitals).

This study follows older adults to understand how kidney disease and metabolic problems develop over time. It may help doctors find better ways to care for people with or at risk for chronic kidney disease.
This study looks at older adults with advanced chronic kidney disease (stages 4B and 5) to see if a set of health measures can help predict how long they may live. It aims to guide care and planning for patients and their doctors.
This study uses a computer model to predict whether your kidneys might have trouble after heart surgery. It looks at your health records to help doctors prepare better care for you.
This study tests whether using electronic health records can help doctors prescribe better medications for people with type 2 diabetes who have protein in their urine. These medications are designed to protect your heart and kidneys.
This trial is building a computer model to help diagnose and predict heart conditions using your medical records and test results. People with different heart conditions and healthy volunteers are needed.
