Can a simple frailty test predict ICU stay after hip fracture surgery?
NCT ID NCT07522541
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at 200 older adults (65+) who had hip fracture surgery. Researchers compared two common rating systems—the ASA score and the Clinical Frailty Scale—to see which better predicts whether a patient will need intensive care after surgery. The goal is to help doctors plan care more accurately and avoid surprises.

Who is studied
The study population consists of approximately 243 geriatric patients aged 65 years and older who underwent surgery for acute traumatic hip fracture (femoral neck, intertrochanteric, or subtrochanteric) at the Department of Anesthesiology and Reanimation, University of Health Sciences, Dr. Abdurrahman Yurtaslan Ankara Oncology Training and Research Hospital, between November 2023 and December 2025. The population includes patients with complete preoperative anesthesia records, ASA physical status scores, and sufficient clinical documentation for retrospective Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) scoring

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria:Age: Patients aged 65 years and older. Diagnosis: Patients diagnosed with acute traumatic hip fracture, including femoral neck, intertrochanteric, or subtrochanteric fractures. Surgical Intervention: Patients who have undergone or are scheduled for surgical treatment (e.g., arthroplasty, internal fixation/osteosynthesis) for hip fracture. Data Integrity: Availability of complete electronic health records, including preoperative anesthesia evaluation forms and ASA physical status scores. Functional Assessment: Presence of sufficient clinical and nursing documentation to retrospectively determine the Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) score based on preoperative functional status. \- Exclusion Criteria:Pathological and Periprosthetic Fractures: Fractures resulting from bone metastases or those occurring around an existing prosthesis. Multiple Trauma: Patients with concomitant major organ injuries or additional limb fractures that could impact clinical outcomes. Conservative Management: Patients who did not undergo surgical intervention and were managed non-surgically. Incomplete Data: Cases with missing ASA scores, laboratory results, or postoperative clinical follow-up data in the hospital records. Insufficient Functional Documentation: Patients whose clinical or nursing notes are inadequate for retrospective determination of the Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) score. Patient Transfer: Patients transferred to another healthcare facility preoperatively or in the immediate postoperative period, leading to incomplete data follow-up. \-
