Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study is to design and assess the accuracy of administering the electronic Geriatric Assessment Bundle (e-GAB) compared to geriatrician performed comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) in a group of Egyptian elderly. The development of an Arabic software platform for CGA can improve the clinical practice by providing a valid user friendly tool to collect and analyze data for geriatric patients attending non- Geriatric health care service.


Clinical Trial Description

Modern geriatric care is based primarily on the concept of multidisciplinary approach of elderly care. This could be achieved by integrating CGA in different disciplines dealing with the older patient. CGA is different from that of the standard medical evaluation; it is a systematic evaluation of frail older adults. It uses combinations of validated geriatric tools to formulate an inventory of health problems, and develop an individualized geriatric intervention plan. The software platform for CGA has been widely used in western countries; however, tools that can fit patients with different backgrounds should be implemented.. From the initial pool of 3 potential subtests, four experienced geriatricians developed a bundle of 15 subtests, to evaluate cognition, mood, vision, hearing, urinary continence, nutrition, functional capacity, fall risk and balance impairment, frailty, polypharmacy, sleep, pain, home safety, and social problems. Moreover, a rapid survey of medical and surgical conditions was obtained. Initial evaluation of these subsets compared to the reference standard CGA was done. Each patient completed the bundle then underwent CGA by an experienced geriatrician blinded to the result of e-GAB ;
