Preoperative Oral Nutrition And Outcomes In Frail Elderly Patients With Femur Fractures
Sponsor: Duzce University
Summary
The goal of this observational study is to learn whether preoperative oral nutrition support improves clinical outcomes in elderly patients with femur fractures who have a high frailty index. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does preoperative nutrition support improve hemodynamic stability during and after surgery? * Does it reduce postoperative complications, mortality, and length of hospital stay? Researchers will compare patients who receive preoperative oral nutrition support with those who follow routine nutrition. Participants will: * Receive routine medical care with or without nutrition support * Have their hemodynamic values, complications, and outcomes recorded during hospitalization * Be followed at 30 and 90 days after surgery for complications and mortality.
