The doctors are unaware of how a certain treatment can affect elderly patients.
<h3>How does an age-related exclusion affect research results?</h3>
Elderly participants are frequently left out of clinical trials. As a result, doctors are very unaware of how a certain treatment can affect their elderly patients.
There is widespread opposition to conducting studies in those groups that we refer to as "sensitive populations," including children, the elderly, pregnant women, and those with cognitive impairment. We frequently play it safe and exclude certain people from trials because of the possibility of doing more harm than benefit in these patient groups.
<h3>Suggestions to include elders in trials:</h3>
- When enrolling elderly subjects, reconsider age restrictions and steer clear of an all-or-nothing mindset. Instead, take into account subject-by-subject eligibility assessment, which will still permit the exclusion of patients assessed to be too frail, dangerous, or problematic for the experiment.
- Make an effort to find elder participants. A concerted effort is required to reverse these trends because there aren't enough elderly people in our studies as a result of years of both passively and intentionally omitting them. The goal of clinical research education for older persons should extend beyond participant recruiting for a specific trial.
- Recognize successful strategies for enlisting minority people. Understanding your patient population's needs and removing barriers to their participation will help you improve trial diversity.
