Association between preoperative anaemia and one year mortality risk in older patients undergoing femoral neck fracture surgery: an observational study

At Honghui Hospital, affiliated with Xi'an Jiaotong University in China, anemia has been identified as a common condition among elderly patients undergoing surgery for femoral neck fractures, and it significantly contributes to an elevated risk of mortality within one year post-surgery. It is advisable to implement interventions aimed at managing anaemia before surgery, which should include setting haemoglobin thresholds that are not specific to any gender for its diagnosis.
