NCT ID: NCT04956705 Completed - Aging Clinical Trials

Vitamin D and Calcium Supplementation at Danish Nursing Homes

Start date: September 20, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Nursing home residents are in high risk of vitamin D deficiency, which negatively affects bone health. Vitamin D and calcium supplements have shown to increase bone density and reduce fracture risk and may affect daily physical functioning. Therefore, The Danish Health Authority recommends all nursing home residents a daily supplement of 20 µg vitamin D and 800-1000 mg calcium. However, adherence to the recommendation is low. The present project hypothesizes that this low adherence results in a high number of residents with a deficient or insufficient vitamin D status, and that daily physical functioning can be improved or maintained by an improved adherence to the recommendation.

NCT ID: NCT04945863 Completed - Covid19 Clinical Trials

COVID-19 in Nursing Homes 2020 and 2021

Start date: March 31, 2020
Phase:
Study type: Observational

To describe the effect on mortality in nursing home facilities during three separate equally long periods during the pandemic and more specifically to analyse the effect on mortality of improved preventive routines and vaccination.

NCT ID: NCT04931472 Completed - Frailty Clinical Trials

Feasibility and Acceptability of the Clinical Frailty Scale in a Swedish Emergency Department Setting

Start date: June 8, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of the Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS). The scale can potentially be adopted for daily use in the Emergency Department (ED) and have been evaluated with regard to feasibility to a certain extent, but have so far not been evaluated in the Swedish emergency care context.

NCT ID: NCT04929587 Completed - Gastric Cancer Clinical Trials

Analysis of Influencing Factors of Preoperative Frailty in Elderly Patients With Gastric Cancer Based on the Health Ecology Theory

Start date: January 1, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Frailty is common in patients with gastric cancer undergoing surgical treatment. Preoperative frailty can lead to many adverse outcomes in patients after surgery. This study aims to comprehensively and systematically analyze the influencing factors of preoperative frailty in patients with gastric cancer based on the health ecology theory , to change some critical variable factors in the future, improving the overall prognosis of patients.

NCT ID: NCT04888884 Completed - Frailty Clinical Trials

Loss of Independence - a Rapid Alternative to Frailty Screening in a Swedish ED Setting

Start date: September 27, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational

This prospective observational study will investigate the correlation of a surrogate marker of frailty in relation to serious outcomes. Serious outcomes are defined as: mortality within 30 days, admission to hospital, length of stay in the Emergency Department (ED), in-hospital Length of Stay and revisits to the ED. The exposure, frailty, will be assessed according to Loss of Independence (LOI) a possible low-cost quick tool to identify frailty in patients. The study population will be ED patients, >65 years of age in a Swedish regional health care system (Region Östergötland, Sweden), comprising three EDs in Linköping, Norrköping and Motala. The outcomes will be compared according to the degree of frailty and censored over 7, 30 and 90 days.

NCT ID: NCT04877028 Completed - Frailty Clinical Trials

Frailty Screening in the Swedish Emergency Department Setting

Start date: May 17, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational

This prospective observational study will investigate the correlation of frailty in relation to serious outcomes. Serious outcomes are defined as: mortality within 30 days, admission to hospital, length of stay in the Emergency Department(ED), in hospital length of stay and revisits to the ED. The exposure, frailty, will be assessed according to Clinical Frailty Scale. ED patients >65 years of age in a Swedish regional health care system (Region Östergötland, Sweden) comprising three EDs in Linköping, Norrköping and Motala. The outcomes will be compared according to the degree of frailty and censored over 7, 30 and 90 days respectively.

NCT ID: NCT04875923 Completed - Frailty Clinical Trials

Cardiac Surgery as a Means of Reversing Frailty

CURE-Frailty
Start date: April 9, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Frailty is a multifactorial condition associated with older age, which leads to increased vulnerability to external stressors, such as infections or surgical procedures. Key features of frailty are unintentional weight loss, reduced strength and physical activity as well as the feeling of exhaustion. When selecting patients for surgery, frailty can play an important part in resource planning and prognostication. Multiple studies have shown frailty to have a negative impact on mortality, perioperative adverse events, hospital length of stay as well as postoperative quality of life and functional status. Despite it being an important patient-centered outcome, postoperative quality of life tends to be overlooked when selecting patients for surgery. Cardiac surgery presents a massive stressor to the frail patient, but on the other hand might have the ability to reduce disease burden and improve functional status, thus reducing frailty. This prospective observational cohort study aims to assess frailty, as well as functional status and quality of life in cardiosurgical patients pre- and postoperatively, and evaluate its impact on postoperative clinical and functional outcomes. The primary endpoint of this study is the change in postoperative level of frailty.

NCT ID: NCT04869878 Completed - Frailty Clinical Trials

Inter-rater Reliability of the Clinical Frailty Scale in a Swedish Emergency Department Setting

Start date: May 3, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Frailty is a common clinical syndrome in older adults, which may be assessed through various assessment tools. One frequently used tool is the Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) which potentially can be adopted for daily use in the Emergency Department and has been appraised for reliability to some extent, but have so far not been evaluated in the Swedish emergency care context. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the inter-rater reliability of the Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) in a clinical Swedish Emergency Department (ED) setting. Members of multidisciplinary emergency care teams will conduct the assessments individually.

NCT ID: NCT04868071 Completed - Frailty Clinical Trials

Effects of Low-Speed and High-Speed Resistance Training Programs on Frailty Status

RTF
Start date: October 1, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The present study refers to a three-arm randomized controlled trial that investigated the effects of two types of RT on frailty status, physical performance, cognitive function, and blood pressure of prefrail and frail older adults.

NCT ID: NCT04866316 Completed - Frailty Clinical Trials
