Blood test clues may predict survival after hip surgery in seniors
NCT ID NCT07607886
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks back at medical records of 233 older adults (65+) who had hip fracture surgery. Researchers want to see if certain blood test results, taken before and after surgery, can help predict who is at higher risk of dying within 30 days or needing a longer stay in the intensive care unit. The goal is to find simple, widely available markers that could help doctors better manage care for elderly hip fracture patients.

Who is studied
Geriatric patients aged 65 years and older who underwent proximal femoral nailing (PFN) surgery for intertrochanteric femur fractures at a tertiary referral center were retrospectively evaluated.
