Trial summary

Hip fracture is the second indication of surgical management elderly patients. It remains linked with a one-year mortality of 20%-25% according to diiferent governmental agencies, and the incidence reaches 30% for those over 80 years old. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The PAGET Survey : Pre-operative Assessment for GEriatric Trauma Patients

Hip fracture is the second indication of surgical management elderly patients. It remains linked with a one-year mortality of 20%-25% according to diiferent governmental agencies, and the incidence reaches 30% for those over 80 years old.

The factors recognized and found to be most correlated with the survival / mortality ratio of patients are age, sex, intervention time, and prior health status.

The aim of a preoperative clinical evaluation is to estimate the benefit-risk balance of different clinical and technical managements and to prepare the postoperative patient outcome. During the last decade, management of hip fracture has improved mainly due to the different recommendations for a multidisciplinary management of perioperative procedures. However, none of them have yet highlighted FOCUS echocardiography as a "routine" examination of the preoperative evaluation as in most noncardiac surgeries.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the preoperative management of these patients: Clinical and biological evaluation, and to analyze the place that would have the FOCUS preoperative echocardiography in the choice of the anesthesia technique resulting from the patient evaluation.That study in a pre-requisite study to evaluate the incidence of FOCUS echocardiography realized by anesthesiologists in the preoperative period in order to define patient's outcome and anesthetic management.

Read the detailed description

The question is whether the pre-operative routine preoperative echographic evaluation would allow the correction or optimization of any comorbiditie, and / or lead to the modification of the anesthetic management of the patients. Feasibility studies have recently focused on the issue of ultrasound targeted at the patient's bedside. Thus, echocardiography data may have implications for anesthetic but also surgical management.

With the advent of ultraportable ultrasound machines, the limit to routine preoperative bedside use of the ultrasound tool appears to be resolved. The use of point-of-care ultrasounds has proven useful in the management of critical patients in emergency and intensive care units and is recommended in many countries.

Tthe investigators first want to assess the preoperative assessment of elderly and fragile patients admitted urgently for hip surgery. The investigators are setting up a multicenter observational questionnaire for consecutive patients. An electronic questionnaire is distributed via SurveyMonkey to various university hospitals, general hospitals and private institutions in France. The objective of this study is to evaluate the preoperative management of these patients: Clinical, biological evaluation, and analyze the current daily practice regarding the place of POC ultrasound preoperatively; the second question is to know if the choice of the anesthesia technique results from the patient's assessment.

The investigators hope to have a reliable survey of current practices on a group of 500 consecutive patients and then to determine with greater accuracy the first expected real hypothesis for a future prospective randomized multicenter study evaluating the use and impact of preoperative ultrasound assessment versus a control group for perioperative management, complications and outcome of patients undergoing hip fracture.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Geriatric, run by University Hospital, Montpellier at 1 site in France.

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 3 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Apr 2019. 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 France. 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?

Realization of an ultrasound (time frame: 1 day). 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 18 Apr 2019.
