Predicting frailty in older adults after hip fracture surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at frailty in older adults who have a certain type of hip fracture. It may help doctors better understand how frailty affects recovery after hip surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 65 years of age or older.
- You have been diagnosed with a hip fracture (specifically, a trochanteric femur fracture).
- You are planning to have surgery for this fracture with either general or regional anesthesia.
- You are able to consent to the study, either yourself or through a legal representative.
- You do not have advanced dementia, severe cognitive impairment, or a terminal illness that would prevent participation.
