HIP FRACTURE

This study tests a simple, family-led program called "Delirium Zero" to prevent confusion (delirium) in older adults after hip fracture surgery. About 140 patients over 65 will be randomly assigned to either standard care or the Delirium Zero protocol, which includes a wall clock…

This study tests a special nursing program based on Snyder Hope Theory for people aged 60 and older who recently had hip fracture surgery. The program includes counseling, goal setting, and rehab training to improve hope, reduce pain and anxiety, and help patients regain function…

This study tests two sedative drugs, remimazolam and midazolam, in 120 adults aged 65 and older having orthopedic surgery with regional anesthesia. The goal is to see which drug provides better sedation and causes fewer memory or thinking problems shortly after surgery. Neither p…

This study tests whether a single dose of intravenous iron can help elderly patients recover their ability to walk after hip fracture surgery. Researchers will compare iron to a placebo in 210 patients aged 65 and older who have low iron levels after surgery. The goal is to see i…

This study looks at whether adding a frailty assessment to the usual risk score can better predict who might die within 90 days after hip fracture surgery. About 200 older adults (60+) having hip fracture surgery will have their frailty level measured when they arrive at the hosp…

This study looks at 200 older adults (65+) having hip fracture surgery to see if those who are frail have higher levels of inflammation. Researchers will use simple blood tests and a frailty questionnaire. The goal is to better understand the connection, not to test a new treatme…

This study looks at how different types of anesthesia (general or spinal) affect oxygen levels in people over 65 having hip fracture surgery. Researchers will measure oxygen saturation before and after surgery, and also check for sleep apnea, confusion, breathing problems, and ho…

This study tests a treatment called Remote Ischaemic Conditioning (RIC) for people who have broken a hip. RIC uses a blood pressure cuff on the arm or leg to briefly stop blood flow, which may trigger the body to reduce inflammation and improve healing. The study will include 12 …

This study looks at whether a blood test marker called Monocyte Distribution Width (MDW) can help predict serious complications and survival in older adults with hip fractures. About 100 patients aged 65 and older will have their blood tested at the hospital. Researchers will tra…
