  • Ages 60 to 90 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: A total of 2,031 electronic medical records were gathered. Following stringent inclusion and exclusion criteria, a retrospective cohort study was conducted on 1,440 patients with hip fracture. Among them, 783 patients (54.4%) exhibited preoperative persistent hyperglycemia (serum glucose levels ≥ 6.1 mmol/L on multiple occasions), while 275 patients (19.1%) experienced postoperative delirium. The average age of the included geriatric hip fracture patients was 74.7 ± 9.8 years, with males comprising 39.7% of the sample.

Who may be able to join

  • 1) Patients who have undergone surgical treatment for hip fractures.

Who cannot join

  • Multiple or pathological hip fractures.
  • Emergent surgery.
  • Age below 60 years.
  • Incomplete electronic medical records or preoperative blood glucose levels were assessed fewer than two times.
  • Presence of neurological and psychiatric disorders, except dementia.

About this study

Official title: Association Between Preoperative Persistent Hyperglycemia and Postoperative Delirium in Geriatric Hip Fracture Patients

This retrospective study aims to collect electronic medical record data from Dandong central hospital spanning from January 2013 to November 2023. The collected data does not contain any personally identifiable information or breach privacy. Additionally, this study design does not involve active intervention measures or patient recruitment. The research aims to investigate the correlation between preoperative blood glucose levels in elderly hip fracture patients and postoperative delirium.

Read the detailed description

A retrospective observational study is planned to explore specific phenomena or associations using electronic medical record data. The collected data does not contain any personally identifiable information or compromise privacy. Additionally, this study design does not involve active intervention measures or patient recruitment. The study data is sourced from the electronic medical record system of hospitalized patients and has received approval from the hospital's research center, with ongoing supervision by the hospital's ethics committee. The study aims to investigate the correlation between preoperative blood glucose levels in hip fracture patients and postoperative complications.

The retrospective study aims to collect electronic medical record data spanning from January 2013 to November 2023. The data collection process is consistently monitored and verified by the hospital's ethics committee. Throughout the study, adherence to the ethical principles outlined in the 1964 Helsinki Declaration is ensured, and institutional review board (IRB) approval has been obtained for all aspects of the research.

The study aims to provide valuable evidence-based medicine for clinical practitioners by examining the relationship between preoperative persistent hyperglycemia in elderly hip fracture patients and postoperative delirium. Furthermore, it seeks to offer clinical insights for early identification and intervention management of high-risk postoperative delirium patients (POD).

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Participants with Postoperative Delirium

    Postoperative Delirium (POD) manifests as acute cognitive dysfunction and consciousness disorder, characterized by changes in attention or consciousness that cannot be attributed to pre-existing cognitive impairments. Typical symptoms include hallucinations, delusions, agitated behavior, disordered speech, decreased attention, confusion, unclear consciousness, and disrupted sleep-wake cycles. Moreover, POD typically occurs within the first five days after surgery, particularly within the initial 48 hours, and exhibits significant fluctuations.

    Measured: up to 2 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Postoperative Delirium and Hip Fractures, run by Wenbo Ding at 1 site in China.

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

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?

Number of Participants with Postoperative Delirium (time frame: up to 2 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06473324, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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.
