BACKGROUND: Hip fractures are a common health problem among the elderly population, often leading to reduced mobility and a decline in functional status. The role of nutrition in the rehabilitation of these patients is increasingly being recognized, but further research is required to establish optimal nutritional strategies.
OBJECTIVE: This objective of this research was to evaluate the effectiveness of nutritional supplementation on the rehabilitation outcomes in patients with hip fractures.
METHODS: A clinical trial involving 200 patients with hip fractures was conducted. Random assignment assigned patients to either the intervention group, which received a daily nutritional supplement, or the control group, which received standard medical care. The Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA), the Barthel Index, and the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test were evaluated at baseline, six months after the intervention, and one year after the intervention.
RESULTS: At 6- and 12-months post-intervention, the intervention group demonstrated significantly improved MNA scores, Barthel Index scores, and TUG test times compared to the control group, indicating improved nutritional status, functional status, and mobility.
CONCLUSION: Nutritional supplementation can significantly improve rehabilitation outcomes in patients with hip fractures. This highlights the need for optimal nutritional strategies to be integrated into the management of hip fracture patients to enhance their recovery.
