Hip replacement and confusion risk in older adults
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at whether older adults who get a hip replacement may experience confusion after surgery. It aims to find factors that might help prevent or reduce this confusion.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 65 years old or older
- You are scheduled for a planned (not emergency) total hip replacement
- You are healthy enough to be classified as ASA I, II, or III
- You can understand and cooperate during testing (glasses or hearing aids are fine)
- You are expected to stay in the hospital after surgery in an ICU, recovery room, or regular ward

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 examines how anxiety before major joint surgery (hip or knee) affects confusion and delirium after surgery in adults 65 and older. Understanding this connection may help doctors better manage patients' emotional and mental health around surgery.
This study watches how nervous patients feel before hip replacement surgery and how that connects to their overall strength and ability to bounce back. Researchers want to understand whether anxiety levels and frailty affect each other in older adults.
This trial is testing different types of anesthesia to see how they affect brain function (memory, thinking) after hip fracture surgery in older adults. It aims to find the safest approach for elderly patients.
This study looks at how frailty (a state of being physically weak and less resilient) before hip or knee replacement surgery affects thinking and memory problems after surgery in older adults. It aims to help identify patients who may need extra support.
This trial tests if giving either oral melatonin or lidocaine during surgery can reduce the chance of confusion (delirium) in older adults after total hip replacement. It compares these two approaches to standard care.
