Does malnutrition predict 12-month mortality in hip fracture inpatients?
Malnutrition independently predicts 12-month mortality following acute hip fracture, highlighting the need for early identification and treatment.
Findings substantiate malnutrition as an independent predictor of 12-month mortality in a representative sample of hip fracture inpatients. Effective strategies to identify and treat malnutrition in hip fracture should be prioritized.
