NCT06669559 · NOT YET RECRUITING
A Clinical Decision Support Tool for Assessing the Ability to Decide on Returning Home in Elderly Patients with Cognitive Impairments
This study tests a tool called the DROM-Test, which helps geriatricians judge whether an older hospital patient with memory or thinking problems can decide for themselves about going home. Researchers want to know if it assesses decision-making ability better than a doctor's judgment alone. It is not a drug trial, and no phase applies.
