Trial summary

Hip fracture in the elderly is a worldwide public health issue and a medical challenge for early postoperative rehabilitation. More than 2 million people are treated annually with an annual incidence between 100 and 300/100,000 (USA, Europe, China), resulting in a cost of billion dollars and a strain on most surgical… Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 65 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Older adult

Study population: Patients with hip fracture, and with or without a SARS-COV-2 disease: We included all patients older than 65 years with hip fracture hospitalization recorded between March 1, 2020 and December 31, detected through ICD-10 diagnosis codes , and with a DRG Codes (Diagnosis Related Group) indicating a surgical procedure. Patient with hip fracture hospitalization without a care code indicating a surgical procedure were excluded. Among these patients, we searched for hospitalizations with SARS-CoV2 diagnostic that occurred within 30 days before the date of hospital admission for hip fracture.

About this study

Official title: Association Between Covid-19 Disease and Mortality After Hip Fracture Surgery in Elderly: a Multicentre National French Survey

Hip fracture in the elderly is a worldwide public health issue and a medical challenge for early postoperative rehabilitation. More than 2 million people are treated annually with an annual incidence between 100 and 300/100,000 (USA, Europe, China), resulting in a cost of billion dollars and a strain on most surgical facilities. In this context, an early surgical management of patient with fracture within the first 24-48h has been shown to reduce morbidity, length of hospital stay and mortality.

During the Covid-19 pandemics, a higher risk of 30-day mortality has been reported in patients with pre-operative SARS-CoV-2 infection diagnosed 0-2 weeks, 3-4 weeks and 5-6 weeks before surgery compared with patients who did not have a pre-operative SARS-CoV-2 infection. However, this risk seems to disappear in patients diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 ≥ 7 weeks before surgery. These findings led to propose delayed elective surgery when the benefit-risk ratio was acceptable (cancer, cardiac surgeries). However, delaying surgery in COVID-19 patients (with high risk of immune and thrombotic disorders) with hip fracture could be questionable as the risk related to COVID-19 could be counteracted by the risk delayed surgery.

For assessing the mortality risk related to hip fracture surgery associated with COVID-19, we decided to use the French national hospital discharge records database for comparing the 30-day postoperative mortality in patients with hip fracture and with or without an hospitalization for SARS-COV-2 infection in the 30 previous days before surgery.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of SARS-CoV2 Infection and Hip Fractures, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nīmes 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 1 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 1 Jul 2021. 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?

Hospital Mortality (time frame: Day 0 to Day 30). 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 1 Jul 2021.
