IMPROVING OUTCOMES IN OLDER VETERANS WITH HEART FAILURE AND CKD: FROM PROPENSITY SCORE USE TO AI

Abstract

Older adults are often excluded from randomized controlled trials (RCT). Consequently, gold-standard RCT-evidence to improve outcomes in older adults is often unavailable. Properly-designed outcome-blinded propensity score matched studies can provide high-quality non-RCT evidence when RCTs are impractical, unethical, or lack sponsors.
