Does a higher postoperative Hb level improve early functional recovery in elderly patients after hip fracture repair?
Maintaining higher postoperative hemoglobin levels may improve functional recovery in elderly patients after hip fracture repair, though confirmatory clinical trials are needed.
Higher postoperative Hb level may improve functional recovery after hip fracture repair. If confirmed with clinical trials, this finding would provide a rationale to maintain higher Hb concentrations in elderly patients recovering from surgery.
Lawrence et al. (Mon,) studied this question.
