Optimizing recovery after a hip fracture: Protocol of a randomized controlled trial to study the effects, costs, and cost-effectiveness of a combined protein and exercise intervention in older adults after a hip fracture (ProBUS study)
The intervention is expected to enhance recovery, attenuate postoperative bone and muscle loss, and improve quality of life. Implementation into standard care could improve efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
