Predicting of Frailty

NCT07332052 · Status: NOT_YET_RECRUITING · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 100

Summary

This study aims to evaluate the frailty status of elderly patients undergoing surgery for hip fractures (femur trochanteric fractures). Since frailty is a critical factor in surgical outcomes and recovery, researchers want to find simple, fast, and objective ways to measure it. This study will investigate muscle thickness measured by ultrasound, handgrip strength measured by a dynamometer, and routine blood test values can accurately predict a patient's frailty level. If these objective methods are proven effective, it will help anesthesia and surgical teams manage the perioperative process more safely for high-risk elderly patients

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Clinical and Functional Assessment

Assessment of frailty status using the Clinical Frailty Scale and measurement of handgrip strength using a hand dynamometer (measured in kilograms). Ultrasonographic measurement of the rectus femoris muscle thickness (mm) and femur-skin distance (mm) conducted one day before surgery.

OTHER

Rectus femoris thickness measurement

By using ultrasound linear prob the thickness of rectus femoris muscle will be measured
