Using the Naples Prognostic Score to predict delirium after hip surgery

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 will calculate the Naples Prognostic Score (NPS) from routine preoperative blood markers—albumin, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, and lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio—in patients aged 60 and older undergoing hip fracture surgery. Researchers will follow patients through the postoperative period to record who develops postoperative delirium and compare NPS values between those who do and do not develop delirium. Patients with preexisting dementia, mild cognitive impairment, or active infections are excluded to focus on new-onset postoperative delirium. The goal is to determine whether a simple, blood-based score measured before surgery correlates with delirium risk in this geriatric surgical population.
