What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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

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

This study tests a simple bedside exercise program called BE-FIT for adults aged 65 and older after surgery. The program encourages early movement and self-management to prevent muscle loss and speed up recovery. Researchers will compare mobility, hospital stay length, and complications between patients who do the exercises and those who receive usual care.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
bedside exercise program (BE-FIT)
What this could lead to
If it works, this program could help older adults get moving sooner after surgery, reducing hospital stays and complications.
What could go wrong
This is an implementation study, not a randomized trial, so results may be less definitive. The program relies on patients doing exercises independently, which may not work for everyone.

Participants

About 2,180 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

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