About this trial
Hip fractures are serious injuries that occur mostly in older adults. Many people experience health problems or may die in the months after surgery. Doctors try to identify patients who have a higher risk of poor outcomes as early as possible.
Doctors often use the Nottingham Hip Fracture Score (NHFS) to estimate the risk of death after hip fracture surgery. This score uses information such as age and other health conditions. However, it does not fully reflect how physically vulnerable a person may be.
Another important concept is frailty. Frailty describes how strong or weak a person's overall health and physical reserve are. In this study, frailty will be measured using the Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS). This scale evaluates a person's level of independence and physical function before the fracture.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether measuring frailty can improve the prediction of death after hip fracture surgery.
Older adults with hip fractures who undergo surgery will be invited to participate in the study. Researchers plan to include about 200 participants or all eligible patients enrolled within one year, whichever occurs first. Health information that is already collected during routine hospital care will be recorded. Frailty will be assessed when participants are admitted to the hospital.
Participants will be followed for 30 days and 90 days after surgery to determine survival status. Researchers will review hospital records and may contact participants or their relatives by phone if needed.
The results of this study may help doctors better identify patients at higher risk and improve care planning after hip fracture surgery.
