简要总结
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate whether pre- and postoperative treatment with systematic PEP therapy can prevent hospital-acquired pneumonia in patients with hip frac-ture. It will also learn about the barriers regarding PEP therapy in this group of patients.
- Does pre- and postoperative treatment with systematic PEP therapy prevent hospital-acquired pneumonia in patients with hip fracture?
- Which barriers do participants have regarding PEP therapy in this group of patients? Researchers will compare systematic PEP therapy to no intervention besides standard treat-ment to see if systematic therapy with PEP can prevent hospital-acquired pneumonia.
Participants will:
- Receive systematic PEP therapy during hospitalization or no intervention besides standard treatment
- Register the PEP therapy four times daily on a paper checklist. Failure to perform the treatment and the reason must also be documented on the checklist.

结局指标
主要结局
The incidence of hospital-acquired pneumonia
时间窗: During hospitalization, from intervention start to discharge, which is on average one week
Primary Outcome is the incidence of hospital-acquired pneumonia in the control and intervention group. Documented in the Sundhedsplatformen and diagnosed with one ore more of the following: * Thoracic x-ray * Sputum culture * Auscultation * Infection markers
次要结局
- Number of participants dead within 30-days after discharge(30-day mortality, assessed 30 days after discharge from the orthopedic ward)
- Number of participants readmitted within 30-days after discharge(30-day readmission post-discharge, assessed 30 days after discharge from the orthopedic ward)
- Incidence of delirium during hospitalization (journal entry, CAM-screening, diagnosis), up to 4 weeks.(During hospitalization, from intervention start to discharge, which is on average one week)
- Degree of regained basic mobility (Cumulated Ambulation Score - CAS) on the the day of discharge compared to the assement made at admission.(CAS the weeks up to hip fracture and CAS at discharge, which is on average one week after admission)
- Discharge destination (home, nursing home, care facility, rehab, another ward/hospital, etc.). Number of participants discharged to home, care facility, rehab, another hospital/ward or ot he discharge destination.(Assessed at discharge from the orthopedic department, which is on average one week efter admission)
