About this study

Official title: The Presence of Pre-Alzheimers/Alzheimers Disease (AD) and Neuromarkers Related to Morbidity/Mortality in Patients With Acute Hip Fractures

The investigators explore the presence of AD factors beta-amyloid and tau in CSF and plasma to verify AD diagnosis in patients with acute hip fracture. Clinical dementia test is performed prior to operation. Blood samples and CSF samples are collected at surgery and blood samples are collected postoperatively at intervals. Mortality is assessed at 30 days, 3 months and 1 year. Morbidity is assessed at , 3 months and >1 year. Neuromarkers specifically addressing the inflammatory component are to be analyzed and correlated to outcome together with AD markers, as above.

Read the detailed description

The hypotheses explored in this investigation is that patients being pre-AD or having AD have worse prognosis following an acute hip fracture. This has been demonstrated in retrospective studies. In this study we admit all patients with a hip fracture planned tro receive a spinal anesthesia. Our golden standard of anesthesia in this patient cohort. Preoperatively Clinical Dementia Score is assessed after study inclosure. At the performance of the spinal dosage is standardized. Prior to giving this 5 ml of CSF is collected and blood is collected. Blood is then collected at intervals up until day 3 postoperatively. We plan to analyze beta-amyloid and tau in CSF and plasma to verify AD diagnosis in patients with acute hip fracture. Mortality is assessed at 30 days, 3 months and 1 year. Morbidity is assessed at, 3 months and >1 year. Neuromarkers specifically addressing the inflammatory component are to be analyzed and correlated to outcome together with AD markers, as above.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Alzheimers Disease and Inflammation, run by Sahlgrenska University Hospital at 1 site in Sweden.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Apr 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Sweden. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Mortality and morbidity (time frame: 1year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Apr 2017.
