Does a higher preoperative C-reactive protein to albumin ratio increase the risk of postoperative delirium and mortality in elderly patients undergoing hip fracture surgery?
Preoperative CRP/albumin ratio may serve as a useful prognostic biomarker for postoperative delirium and mortality in elderly patients undergoing hip fracture surgery.
Preoperative CRP/albumin ratio might be an independent risk factor of postoperative delirium and surgical prognosis in elderly patients undergoing hip fracture surgery.
