What this Trial Is About
The trial investigates the relationship between fracture type, preoperative nutritional status, and postoperative pain and prognosis in geriatric patients undergoing hip surgery. It focuses on patients over 65 years old, who often face malnutrition and other risk factors affecting surgical outcomes. The study aims to evaluate which nutritional screening tools best predict postoperative pain, complications, and hospital stay in this population. Participants are geriatric patients undergoing hip surgery due to fractures. The study observes patients receiving standard anesthesia and analgesia protocols, recording data such as fracture type, surgery type, nutritional risk scores (NRS-2002, GNRI, MNA-SF, PNI), blood tests, pain levels using a visual analog scale over 24 hours, and complications. The observational design means no experimental treatments are given; patients are monitored prospectively. During the study, patients' nutritional status, pain levels at various postoperative times, complications, and hospital stay length are assessed. Data on demographics, comorbidities, surgery duration, and analgesic side effects are also collected. Researchers aim to understand how nutritional status affects pain and recovery, with the study ending by December 2025. Participants' routine care continues throughout, with informed consent and follow-up forms used for data collection.

Your Study Journey
Duration - 2 to 4 weeks
Participants are screened for eligibility to participate in the trial.
1 visit (in-person)
Duration - Up to 24 hours after surgery
Participants undergo hip surgery with spinal anesthesia followed by immediate postoperative care including routine anesthesia and analgesia protocols. Postoperative pain is evaluated at multiple time points within 24 hours.
1 surgery day with pain assessments at 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, and 24 hours postoperatively
Duration - Until hospital discharge
Participants are monitored until hospital discharge for complications, additional analgesic treatments, side effects, and patient satisfaction. Preoperative nutritional status and other health parameters are recorded.
