Bone break survival: age and nutrition may hold the key
NCT ID NCT07147504
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study will look back at the medical records of about 2000 older adults (60+) who had surgery for a broken bone in Shanghai between 2010 and 2019. Researchers want to see how factors like age, nutrition, and which bone broke affect the risk of dying within 1, 3, or 5 years after surgery. No new treatments are given—this is purely an information-gathering study to help doctors identify high-risk patients and improve care.
