A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study focuses on translating and culturally adapting the Groningen Frailty Indicator (GFI) questionnaire for Greek patients who have suffered a hip fracture. It aims to address the growing concern of frailty among the elderly, which can lead to poor health outcomes and increased healthcare demands. By following the ISPOR guidelines, the study will ensure that the GFI is both reliable and valid for the Greek population, facilitating better assessment and management of frailty in this demographic. The research will involve adult patients over 65 years old who are undergoing surgery for hip fractures.
