Factors associated with frailty and the effect of frailty on postoperative outcomes in older adults with hip fracture

This study showed that frailty was prevalent among older adults undergoing hip fracture surgery and had a significant impact on postoperative patient outcomes. Pre-fracture nutritional and functional status were significant factors associated with frailty. Preoperative frailty assessment of patients presenting with hip fractures, especially focusing on nutritional and functional status, may contribute to better management of treatment and care.
