HIP FRACTURE

This study tests whether finding and treating bleeding early with blood transfusions can lower the risk of delirium (sudden confusion) in people 75 and older with hip fractures. About 198 participants will be randomly assigned to either early treatment or standard care. They will…

This study tests a simple "Delirium Zero" protocol to prevent delirium (sudden confusion) in older adults after hip fracture surgery. The protocol includes a clock, an orientation poster, and a checklist for family caregivers. 140 patients over 65 will be randomly assigned to eit…

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

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 is observing 200 older adults (65+) who have hip fracture surgery to see if those who are frail have higher levels of inflammation. Researchers will use simple blood tests taken before surgery to measure inflammation. The goal is to better understand the link between f…

This study looks at whether measuring frailty—how strong or weak a person's overall health is—can improve predictions of death within 90 days after hip fracture surgery. Doctors already use a standard risk score, but it doesn't fully capture physical vulnerability. About 200 olde…

This study looks at how spinal anesthesia compares to general anesthesia for hip fracture surgery in adults over 65. Researchers will measure oxygen levels before and after surgery, and track complications like breathing problems, confusion, and length of hospital stay. Participa…

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 be followed after surgery to track infections, hospital stays…
