Why the study?
Does anaemia impede functional mobility in patients after hip fracture surgery?
Does anaemia impede functional mobility in patients after hip fracture surgery?
Anaemia is an independent risk factor for impaired functional mobility early after hip fracture surgery, suggesting a potential need to investigate liberal transfusion policies.
Anaemia may limit early mobility after hip fracture repair; hypothesis-generating for transfusion trials before practice change.
anaemia impedes functional mobility in the early post-operative phase after a hip fracture surgery and is an independent risk factor for patients not being able to walk post-operatively. The potential for a liberal transfusion policy to improve the rehabilitation potential in hip fracture patients with anaemia should be investigated.
