This study looks at whether nutritional risk and muscle thickness can help predict recovery in adults aged 65 and older after hip fracture surgery. Researchers will measure nutritional status using a standard score and check muscle thickness in the thigh with a quick, painless ul…

This observational study aims to build and test models that predict risks like delirium and death after fracture surgery in older adults. Researchers will collect data on pain, sleep quality, and brain activity to see how these factors relate to short- and long-term outcomes. The…

This study aims to create a guide that helps frail older adults with hip fractures choose treatments based on what matters most to them, such as walking ability or independence, rather than just survival. Researchers will review existing studies, analyze NHS data, and interview p…

This study checks if a French version of the New Mobility Score (NMS) works well for older adults hospitalized after a hip fracture. The NMS is a simple test that measures how well a person can move indoors, outdoors, and while shopping. Researchers will test it with 100 patients…

This study watches real conversations between healthcare staff and people with dementia after hip fracture surgery. The goal is to find which words and phrases work best to encourage patients to stand or walk early. Researchers will record up to 50 care sessions on hospital wards…
