Abstract

Malnutrition is a significant risk factor for poor functional recovery following hip fracture. General undernutrition can be assessed using nutrition assessment screening tools. Identification of nutritionally at risk individuals may prevent complications and poor recovery following a fracture. Simple nutritional supplementation has not resulted in meaningful changes in health outcomes following fracture. However, newer multidisciplinary approaches to improving nutritional status are showing improved health care outcomes. Data on the effectiveness of individual nutrients on hip fracture recovery are limited. Therefore, future studies on combined nutrition interventions (calories, protein, and individual nutrients) are warranted, using a multidisciplinary team approach, both acutely and at home following fracture.

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
