Clinical Trial Summary

This research project is an observational, analytical, prospective cohort study, which aims to identify and describe the causes of delay in surgical intervention in patients with a diagnosis of hip fracture at Hospital Universitario San José, correlate those factors with complications , the impact of the quality of life and the main outcomes in relation to morbidity and mortality associated with the delay in surgery in the study population. In order to carry out this investigation, the recruitment of patients over 18 years old, who enter our institution with a diagnosis of hip fracture, prior acceptance by the patient or his family member to participate through an informed consent signature is carried out. Subsequently, the research team consults the medical history to monitor the factors that influence the time from admission to surgery. A survey is also conducted to assess the quality of life and how your health status can affect it; which is performed during the hospital stay before surgery, the third day after surgery, one month and 6 months later, the last two surveys are conducted in the control consultation with the treatment team or by call telephone. It is clear that this study does not represent any risk for the participants, the information collected will be confidential and will not be used for any other purpose outside the investigation.


Clinical Trial Description

Hip fracture is an important cause of disability, functional risk and death in the adult population, being more significant in the elderly, it also entails high costs for the health system. Although it is usually rare before the sixth decade of life and is very rare in young people, patients who present a hip fracture functional risk can be very important, reaching prostration in up to 8% of cases when Your surgical management is delayed. It is known that the time elapsed between diagnosis and treatment that affects the survival of patients, because every two days of surgical waiting doubles the probability of death due to secondary complications such as infections and cardiovascular complications, which impacts on flexibility and quality. of the patient's life. In addition, it should be borne in mind that in occasions it is necessary to stabilize chronic pathologies of the patient, preventing this sea intervened in a timely manner. At present there is no consensus on the intervention time of these fractures; However, previous studies have found that better results are obtained when surgical treatment is performed within the first 24 hours. In Colombia there are few published studies describing epidemiological characteristics, estimated time from admission to the surgical procedure, and the factors that specific to such delay. Due to the above and considering that hip fracture is considered a public health problem, it is important to identify sociodemographic factors and medical conditions that may be related to the postoperative complications, morbidity and mortality of these patients to help with the taking of therapeutic and administrative decisions that lead to improving the care provided and final results in the patient. The general objective of this study is to identify the main causes of delay in surgical intervention in patients with a diagnosis of hip fracture of the San José university hospital during 2019 and its relationship with morbidity and mortality. The research team has also proposed the following specific objectives to carry out this study: 1. Describe socio-demographically the patients with a diagnosis of hip fracture, underwent surgery at the San José University hospital since 2019. 2. Identify the reason that delay in surgical intervention. 3. Quantify the main outcomes in morbidity and mortality during the 6 months after surgery, associated with the delay in surgery in the study population. 4. Assess the quality of post-surgical life in the patient operated on for hip fracture. 5. Correlate the delay in surgical intervention with complications and mortality in patients operated for hip fracture since 2019. It is estimated to include 80 patients during the first year of recruitment. For the collection of information there is a sociodemographic survey, the EQ5D5L quality of life survey and comorbidity is evaluated taking into account the Charlson index. ;
