Greek frailty tool tested on hip fracture patients
NCT ID NCT05091645
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study aims to translate and culturally adapt the Groningen Frailty Indicator (GFI) questionnaire for Greek patients with hip fractures. Researchers will enroll 89 adults over 65 who are undergoing hip fracture surgery. The goal is to create a reliable Greek version of the GFI to measure frailty in this group.
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 reliable tool to assess frailty in Greek-speaking hip fracture patients, helping tailor care.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study with only 89 participants, so results may not apply broadly. It does not test a treatment.
This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
