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
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.

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 Results may not be published yet.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.

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 tested a Thai version of a simple tool called the Delirium Diagnostic Tool-Provisional (DDT-Pro) to see if it can accurately diagnose delirium in elderly patients with hip fractures. Delirium is a common complication after hip fracture surgery, but current diagnostic methods require special training. The study involved 110 patients over 65 at a hospital in Thailand. Researchers compared the tool's results to the standard diagnostic method to check its accuracy and reliability.

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 successful, this could provide a simple, accurate way for doctors to quickly diagnose delirium in elderly Thai hip fracture patients without special training.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study testing a translated tool. It may not work as well in other hospitals or patient groups, and the tool itself does not treat delirium.

Who is studied

The main objective of the study is to assess the validity and reliability (DDT-Pro) questionnaire in patients with fragility hip fractures before and after receiving surgical treatment. For evaluating the Concurrent validity of the tool: 1. Concurrent validity (95% Confidence Interval (CI) for the Area Under the Curve (AUC)) \- sample size = 99 2. For reliability assessment (Reliability) of the tool: 1. Internal consistency (95% confidence level for Cronbach's Alpha) \- sample size = 90 2. Inter-rater reliability (95% confidence interval for Kappa) - sample size = 66 Therefore, the sample size for analyzing inter-rater reliability is at least 66 cases, the sample size for analyzing internal consistency is at least 90 cases, and the sample size for concurrent validity analysis is at least 99 cases. However, the researcher expected a 10% dropout rate, so a sample size of at least 110 cases was used for the analysis.
