Summary

This study is testing whether giving elderly patients with a broken hip and high frailty a special nutritional drink before surgery can help them stay more stable during the operation and recover better. Researchers will compare patients who get the drink with those who follow standard care, tracking complications, hospital stay length, and survival up to 90 days after surgery. The goal is to see if simple nutrition support can improve outcomes for this vulnerable group.

Who is studied

The study population consists of elderly patients aged 65 years or older with femur fractures and a high frailty index (Clinical Frailty Scale ≥5) who are admitted for surgery at Düzce University Faculty of Medicine Hospital and are expected to require postoperative intensive care. Patients receiving preoperative oral nutritional support as part of routine clinical practice and those continuing their usual diet will be observed and followed perioperatively and postoperatively.
