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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study follows 280 older adults (65+) who visit the emergency room after a simple fall but are not hospitalized. Researchers want to see how often their ability to do daily tasks like bathing or dressing declines in the month after the fall. Participants answer questions about their health and lifestyle at the ER visit, then again at 7 and 30 days after discharge. The goal is to find out which factors—like frailty, medications, or fear of falling—are linked to losing independence, so doctors can better support recovery.

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 study could help doctors identify older adults at risk of losing independence after a fall, leading to better follow-up care and fall prevention programs.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, so it won't directly improve health. Results may not apply to all older adults, and factors like memory or access to follow-up could limit accuracy.

Who can take part

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

Who is studied

The study population will consist of community-dwelling older adults aged 65 years and older who present to the emergency department (ED) with a simple fall and are discharged without hospitalization. Participants must be cognitively able to complete baseline and follow-up assessments. This population represents a group at risk of functional decline despite not requiring inpatient admission. By focusing on older adults discharged from the ED, the study aims to capture real-world outcomes in a population that is often underrepresented in research but commonly experiences falls and subsequent declines in independence.
