About this study

The integration of digital technologies into chronic disease rehabilitation has transformed people care, yet the specific impact of electronic health literacy on early functional outcomes in fragility fracture people remains underexplored. This study investigates the association between preoperative eHealth literacy and both preoperative and early postoperative functional outcomes in people with fragility fractures.

What is being measured

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

  1. Barthel Index

    Barthel Index (BI) is widely used to quantify activities of daily living and is sensitive to short-term changes during hospitalization. A low BI at discharge limits the effectiveness of rehabilitation and is associated with poor prognosis. The lowest score on this scale is 0, and the highest score is 100.

    Measured: At baseline, 3 days postoperatively, 7 days postoperatively and 30 days postoperatively data on Barthel Index.

  2. EQ-5D-5L

    EQ-5D is a health-related quality of life (HRQoL) questionnaire widely used in economic, clinical, and population health studies. The EQ-5D descriptive system comprises five dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. It has two versions, a three-level EQ-5D (EQ-5D-3L) and a five-level EQ-5D (EQ-5D-5L). Each dimension of the EQ-5D-3L consists of 3 levels: no difficulty at all, some difficulty, and extreme difficulty.

    Measured: At baseline, 3 days postoperatively, 7 days postoperatively and 30 days postoperatively data on EQ-5D-5L.

  3. PNI

    The PNI was derived using the formula: 10 × serum albumin (g/dL) + 0.005 × lymphocyte count (/mm3). Serum albumin < 4.0 g/dL = 1 point, ≥4.0 g/dL = 0 points and LMR < 4.44 = 1 point, ≥4.44 = 0 points. The total PNI varied from 0 to 4, higher values reflect a more favorable nutritional and inflammatory profile.

    Measured: At baseline, 3 days postoperatively, 7 days postoperatively and 30 days postoperatively data on PNI.

  4. EQ-VAS

    Participants rated their current health on a 100-point EQ visual analog scale (EQ VAS), ranging from "worst imaginable health state" (0) to "best imaginable health state" (100).

    Measured: At baseline, 3 days postoperatively, 7 days postoperatively and 30 days postoperatively data on EQ-VAS.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Fragility Fracture, run by Shandong University 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 4 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 15 Jun 2026. 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 China. 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?

Barthel Index (time frame: At baseline, 3 days postoperatively, 7 days postoperatively and 30 days postoperatively data on Barthel Index.). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 15 Jun 2026.
