Official title
The Role of SNRI's in the Prophylaxis of Depression in the First Year Following Lower Extremity Fragility Fractures in Geriatric Patients
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The goal of this pilot study is to learn about the feasibility about prescribing anti-depressants at discharge in patients aged 50 years and older with a lower extremity fragility fracture. The main questions it aims to answer are: * What are the obstacles to enrolling patients and prescribing anti-depressants among older adults? * Is it possible to start prescribing SNRI medication upon discharge? * What is the prevalence of depressive symptoms amongst patients with different types of injuries and weightbearing status? * What is a transition of care plan for patients who have geriatric depression and require further care? Participants will: * Undergo screening using the Geriatric Depression Scale * Start on Duloxetine 30mg daily at time of discharge * Report medication compliance and complete re-screening monthly * Complete patient reported outcome measures and 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year * Receive a referral to behavioral health, primary care, or psychiatrist for evaluation if they screen positive at any timepoint
