Effects of anesthesia type on recovery after hip fracture surgery in elderly patients

Is this trial a fit for you?

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

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to determine how different types of anesthesia—regional versus general—affect the prognosis of elderly patients undergoing hip fracture surgery. It will involve dividing patients into two groups based on the anesthesia type used during their surgery and assessing their health status using the Orthopedic POSSUM scoring system. The primary focus will be on comparing 30-day morbidity and mortality rates between the two groups to evaluate the potential benefits of regional anesthesia over general anesthesia.
