Evaluation of the Effects of Preoperative Oral Nutritional Support on Hemodynamic Stability, Morbidity, Mortality, and Anthropometric Measurements in Patients With Femur Fractures and High Frailty Index: A Prospective Observational Study

Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Dietary supplement
Study Type: Observational
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.

Treatments
Group 1: Patients receiving preoperative oral nutritional support in the orthopedic ward.
Elderly patients with femur fractures and high frailty who receive preoperative oral nutritional supplements in the orthopedic ward according to routine nutrition clinic recommendations. Patients are followed perioperatively and postoperatively for hemodynamic stability, complications, and mortality.
Group 2: Patients followed with routine dietary intake without additional nutritional support.
Elderly patients with femur fractures and high frailty who continue their usual diet without additional nutritional support before surgery. Patients are followed with the same perioperative and postoperative outcome measurements for comparison.
