NCT ID NCT07432009
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at whether older adults with mild memory issues are more likely to become confused after planned hip replacement surgery. Researchers will test memory before surgery and watch for confusion in the first three days after. The goal is to see if a quick memory test can help doctors predict and prevent this serious complication.
