Bleeding and confusion after hip fracture in older adults
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a broken hip (hip fracture).
- The fracture was not caused by an underlying disease (like cancer).
- It did not happen around a hip replacement implant.
- You speak and understand Danish.
- You are willing to receive a blood transfusion if needed.
- You are able to cooperate with the study team (for example, no severe dementia with aggressive behavior).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether a medication called dexmedetomidine, given during or after hip fracture surgery, can help prevent confusion (delirium) that sometimes occurs in older patients after surgery. If you are 65 or older and having hip fracture surgery, this treatment might help you recover more clearly.
This trial tests whether giving iron supplements to older patients after a hip fracture helps improve recovery by treating anemia. It aims to see if iron replacement can speed up healing and reduce complications.
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 study looks at how inflammation and brain-related substances in the blood after surgery are linked to confusion (delirium) in older adults. It aims to find early warning signs to prevent this common complication.
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 anesthesia methods during hip fracture surgery in older adults to see if one reduces the risk of confusion (delirium) after the operation. If you qualify, you'll be randomly assigned to one of the two anesthesia groups, both of which are commonly used in practice.
