Predicting frailty in older adults with hip fracture
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at frailty in people aged 65+ with a specific type of hip fracture (trochanteric femur fracture) who need surgery. It aims to find better ways to predict frailty, which could help doctors plan care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 65 or older
- Diagnosed with a trochanteric hip fracture
- Scheduled for hip surgery with general or regional anesthesia
- Able to give informed consent yourself or have a legal representative do so
- No severe dementia or cognitive issues that prevent handgrip strength tests or frailty questionnaires
- No terminal illness or being in palliative care

This study checks if muscle thickness in the thigh and a nutrition score can predict recovery in older adults having hip fracture surgery. It may help doctors plan better care after surgery.
This study looks at whether a simple score (Nottingham Hip Fracture Score) and a frailty check can help predict survival after hip fracture surgery. It aims to help doctors better understand risks for older adults who need hip surgery.
This study looks at how muscle loss (sarcopenia) affects recovery after a hip fracture, comparing people of normal weight with those who are obese. It may help doctors better understand who needs extra support during rehabilitation.
This study looks at how frailty and inflammation affect recovery after a hip fracture in older adults. It aims to find biomarkers that could help personalize care.
This trial aims to improve how frailty is detected in older adults. It tests a new approach to identify frailty early, which could help prevent health problems.
This study looks at “frailty,” or how well the body may handle stress, around the time of surgery in people age 65 and older. It may help doctors better understand who is at higher risk and how to plan care around surgery.
