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
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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

This study is observing 150 older adults (65+) who are having major orthopedic surgery, like hip or knee replacement. Researchers want to see if feeling distressed before surgery is linked to problems after surgery, such as confusion (delirium), pain, and longer hospital stays. The goal is to learn how to better identify patients who might need extra support before and after their operation.

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 identify elderly patients at higher risk for postoperative delirium, leading to better pre-surgery care and fewer complications.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It can only show links, not cause and effect. Results may not apply to all hospitals or patient groups.

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 elderly patients aged 65 years and older who are scheduled to undergo major orthopedic surgery, including hip fracture surgery, primary or revision hip arthroplasty, and primary knee arthroplasty, at a tertiary care hospital. Patients who meet the inclusion criteria and provide informed consent (or whose legally authorized representatives provide consent) will be prospectively enrolled. This population represents a high-risk group for postoperative delirium, and the study aims to evaluate the association between preoperative distress and postoperative outcomes in this clinically relevant and vulnerable patient population.
