Predicting the unpredictable: can pain, sleep, and brain data forecast surgery risks in seniors?
NCT ID NCT07736469
First seen Jul 30, 2026 · Last updated Jul 31, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This observational study aims to build and test models that predict risks like delirium and death after fracture surgery in older adults. Researchers will collect data on pain, sleep quality, and brain activity to see how these factors relate to short- and long-term outcomes. The goal is to create tools that help doctors make better decisions for this vulnerable 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 lead to better tools for predicting complications like delirium and death after fracture surgery in older adults.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, so it cannot directly improve outcomes. The models may not be accurate enough for widespread use.
