F.U.S. Mattace Raso

Professor F.U.S. Mattace Raso serves as a Full Professor in the Department of Internal Medicine at Erasmus MC, specializing in geriatric medicine with a focus on chronic conditions affecting elderly populations. His research spans multiple medical disciplines with particular emphasis on the intersection of kidney function and cognitive health.

His primary research interests include:

• Chronic Kidney Disease and its neurological complications
• Cognitive defects in aging populations
• Frailty assessment and management
• Delirium pathophysiology and outcomes
• Quality of life metrics in chronic disease
• Percutaneous valve replacement outcomes

Analysis of his recent publications reveals a strong trend toward interdisciplinary geriatric research, particularly examining the connections between renal function, cognitive impairment, and physical frailty in elderly patients. His work increasingly addresses post-COVID complications and develops prognostic tools for complex geriatric conditions.

Professor Mattace-Raso leads or participates in multiple international research consortia including the CONNECT Consortium focused on cognitive impairment in kidney disease and the SCOPE Study examining chronic kidney disease in older European populations. His research has substantial clinical implications for geriatric care protocols and risk assessment tools.
