Testing spinal fluid in people with acute hip fractures
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study checks spinal fluid to learn more about delirium (confusion that comes on suddenly) in people with a recent hip fracture. The results may help doctors better understand and treat delirium after hip surgery or injury.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You recently had an acute (new) hip fracture
- You are able to give consent (or you have a legally allowed person to consent for you)
- You are not considered “moribund,” meaning you are likely at the very end of life

This study checks how often older adults get low oxygen during the night after hip fracture surgery. It may help doctors better monitor and improve care during hospital recovery.
This study looks at whether a simple blood test score can predict confusion after hip fracture surgery in older adults. It aims to help doctors identify who might need extra care after surgery.
This study looks at how bleeding after a hip fracture might affect confusion (delirium) in older adults. It will help doctors understand how to better manage bleeding to prevent confusion.
This study looks at a simple blood test called CALLY (CRP-Albumin-Lymphocyte) to see if it can predict which older adults might become confused after hip fracture surgery. The goal is to identify those at risk early so doctors can take steps to prevent or manage delirium.
This trial tests a special care plan (the 'Delirium Zero Protocol') to help prevent confusion (delirium) after hip fracture surgery. It is for people over 65 who are having hip fracture surgery and have a family member or caregiver who can be involved.
This study compares two types of anesthesia (low-flow vs. normal-flow) during hip fracture surgery in older adults. The goal is to see which method may reduce the risk of confusion or delirium after surgery.
