ER genetic test aims to cut repeat trips to hospital
NCT ID NCT06448091
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether giving emergency room doctors genetic information about patients can help choose safer medications and reduce return visits. About 1,200 adults aged 40 and older who frequently visit the ER will be randomly assigned to receive genetic testing or usual care. The goal is to see if this approach lowers hospitalizations and ER visits within six months.
