Blood test to predict confusion after hip fracture surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
