What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

Researchers want to know how common frailty is among people over 70 who are scheduled for an upper or lower digestive endoscopy. They also want to see whether frailty is linked to problems such as cancelled exams, poor bowel preparation, incomplete tests, or complications. The study collects information that nurses and doctors already gather in normal care, including frailty questionnaires completed by phone before the procedure. The goal is to build better protocols for frail patients undergoing endoscopy.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If researchers learn how frailty affects endoscopy, clinics could build better preparation and care routines for older patients, which may reduce cancelled or incomplete tests and complications.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, so it cannot prove that any change in care will help. The findings will come from one group of patients in one health system and may not apply everywhere.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

Outpatients may be referred from hospital consultations or from out-of-hospital medical centers. Age is the inclusion criterion so that frailty can be assessed in patients over 70 years of age, who are the patients with the highest risk of presenting a frailty condition.

Ages

70 to 100 years

Sex

Anyone
