Heart check vs frailty score for hip surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways to evaluate older adults before hip surgery to see which better predicts recovery. It may help doctors choose the safest approach for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 60 years old or older
- You have a broken bone (orthopedic injury) that needs surgery
- You are listed in the Methodist Dallas Medical Center trauma registry
- You are not a prisoner, pregnant, or in another protected group
