Precision-Medicine Diagnostic Support in Hospitalized Veterans With Acute Kidney Injury
United States60 participantsStarted 2028-01-01
Plain-language summary
Acute kidney injury (AKI) affects up to 20% of hospitalized Veterans and is strongly associated with morbidity and death. AKI is a diverse condition and timely and accurate diagnosis of the type of AKI is critical to begin appropriate therapies, especially those causes that require specific treatments beyond general supportive care. Yet, there are still significant gaps in the initial evaluation of AKI among hospitalized patients. Clinical decision support systems (CDSS) have shown promise to address these barriers, but most consist of simple alerting schemes and general care recommendations provided at a single point in time. The goal of this proposal is to develop and test the feasibility and usability of a rule-based and Artificial Intelligence-assisted precision CDSS tool (PRECISE-AKI) that can provide cognitive support to improve timely initial diagnostic evaluation of AKI.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
