IRONCARE: Iron Treatment in Older Patients With Hip Fractures

19. juni 2026 opdateret af: University of Aarhus

IRONCARE: Iron Treatment in Older Patients With Hip Fractures - A Double-blinded Placebo-controlled Randomized Trial

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of intravenous (IV) iron therapy compared to alternate-day oral iron treatment and no supplementation in older patients with hip fractures. This study will examine the impact of iron treatment on fatigue, functional decline, fear of falling, cognitive impairment, and quality of life, as well as its effects on iron stores and hemoglobin levels, with the overall goal of improving postoperative rehabilitation.

The trial will be conducted on five different hospitals in the Central Region of Denmark (Region Midtjylland).

Foranstaltningsbeskrivelse
Tidsramme
Fatigue
Tidsramme: Baseline and days 30 and 90 after discharge
Measured by Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory tool (MFI-20). MFI-20 is a questionnaire of 20 questions answered on a 5-point scale from "yes, that is true" (1 point) to "no, that is not true" (5 points). A higher score indicates greater severity of fatigue.
Baseline and days 30 and 90 after discharge
Hemoglobin increment
Tidsramme: Baseline and days 30 and 90 after discharge
Defined as a change of level of a minimum of 1.24 mmol/L (2 g/dL). The level of hemoglobin will be measured with a venous blood sample
Baseline and days 30 and 90 after discharge
Safety profile
Tidsramme: Days 15, 30, 45 and 90 after discharge
Measured as the prevalence and severity of adverse events associated with iron treatment
Days 15, 30, 45 and 90 after discharge

Foranstaltningsbeskrivelse
Tidsramme
Physical function - NMS
Tidsramme: Baseline and days 30 and 90 after discharge

New Mobility score (NMS) is used to assess the participant's mobility. The participant will be asked three questions ranging from "no difficult and no walking aid" (3 points) to "not able to at all" (0 points).

The score ranges from 0 - 9 points. A higher score indicates a higher level of independent mobility.
Baseline and days 30 and 90 after discharge
Physical function - handgrip strength
Tidsramme: Baseline and days 30 and 90 after discharge.
Handgrip strength is measured by using a dynamometer that measures the pressure made from a hand grip on the dynamometer in kilograms. A higher score indicates higher handgrip strength.
Baseline and days 30 and 90 after discharge.
Physical function - 30 second sit-to-stand-test
Tidsramme: Baseline and days 30 and 90 after discharge.

30 second sit-to-stand-test is used as a parameter for strength, muscle power and dynamic balance.

The test is performed by placing a chair with the back against a wall. The participant must be seated on the chair with their arms crossed and are then encouraged to fully stand and sit as many times as possible in 30 seconds. If the arms are used to stand, the score will be 0.

A low score indicates low physical ability, and a higher score indicates high physical ability.
Baseline and days 30 and 90 after discharge.
Fear of Falling
Tidsramme: Days 30 and 90 after discharge
Measured by Short Fall Efficiency Scale-International which is a 7 questions questionnaire assessing the fear of falling from 7 points (low concern of falling) to 28 points (high concern of falling).
Days 30 and 90 after discharge
Quality of life
Tidsramme: Baseline and 90 days after discharge
European Quality of Life - 5 Dimensions (EQ-5D-5L) which is a standardized questionnaire used to evaluate health-related quality of life. There are 5 questions ranging from level 1 - 5 Level 1 indicates: no problems Level 2 indicates: slight problems Level 3 indicates: moderate problems Level 4 indicates: severe problems Level 5 indicates: extreme problems And lastly a visual analogue scale from 0 - 100 where 100 means the best health imaginable and 0 means the worst health imaginable.
Baseline and 90 days after discharge
Cognitive impairment
Tidsramme: Baseline and days 30 and 90 after discharge

Measured by Brief Assessment of Impaired Cognition (BASIC). The tool consists of three questions to the patient (0-6 points), word finding (0-5 points), categorized recalling of photos (0-8 points) and lastly three questions to a next of kin (0-6 points). A low score indicates impaired cognition.

In cases where no next of kins is available the conversion table is used of an estimated score according to the guidance from the Danish Dementia Research Centre.
Baseline and days 30 and 90 after discharge
Biochemical iron status - transferrin
Tidsramme: Baseline and on days 30 and 90 after discharge
p-transferrin (μmol/L) measured by a venous blood sample.
Baseline and on days 30 and 90 after discharge
Biochemical iron status - ferritin
Tidsramme: Baseline and on days 30 and 90 after discharge
p-ferritin (μg/L) measured by a venous blood sample
