An observational study in Cardiac Disease, sponsored by Methodist Health System. Recruiting at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 60 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-08-04.
Sponsored by Methodist Health System · Observational
The primary objective of this study is to establish a data repository that will be permissive of quality improvement studies/observations specific to postoperative mortality outcomes for geriatric patients with orthopedic injuries based on Orthopedic Hip Frailty Score and preoperative cardiac clearance predictors.
It is typically a result of advanced aging. Among geriatric patients suffering from hip fractures, frailty is common and is associated with an increased risk of postoperative complications and morbidity with hip fracture surgery. Developed by the Swedish National Quality Registry, the Orthopedic Hip Frailty Score aims to predict short-term postoperative mortality in geriatric patients with hip fractures in order to improve patient outcomes and better allocate resources.
2,135 studies on the registry are indexed under Heart Diseases; 252 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 100 is below the median of 350 across 592 observational studies indexed under Heart Diseases.
