NCT ID NCT07490184

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks back at medical records of 100 older adults (60+) who had hip surgery after an injury. Researchers want to see if a simple frailty score or standard heart tests better predict who will have complications or die after surgery. The goal is to find better ways to assess risk in elderly trauma patients.
