Background: Hip fractures are prevalent among older people, often leading to reduced mobility, muscle loss, and bone density decline. Malnutrition exacerbates the prognosis post surgery. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of a 12-week regimen of a high-calorie, high-protein oral supplement with β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate (HC-HP-HMB-ONS) on nutritional status, daily activities, and compliance in malnourished or at-risk older patients with hip fractures receiving standard care.

Six of the seven proposed quality indicators showed a significant improvement.
Purpose: The Spanish National Hip Fracture Registry (RNFC) arises from the need to know the process and improve the quality of care.
First proposal of quality indicators and standards and recommendations to improve the healthcare in the Spanish National Registry of Hip Fracture.

Article Synopsis
- - The Spanish National Hip Fracture Registry (RNFC) aims to improve hip fracture patient care by establishing, evaluating, and monitoring key indicators related to treatment and outcomes.
- - Seven indicators related to treatment timelines, medication compliance, and patient mobility were assessed, with current compliance rates identified and compared to proposed quality standards.
- - The Indicators Advisory Committee recommended 25 strategies to enhance care, with an evaluation of the improvements planned for six months post-implementation.
Objective: To compare baseline characteristics and those found during hospitalisation as predictors of functional decline at discharge (FDd) in elderly patients hospitalised due to acute illness.
Material And Method: A review was made of the computerized records of patients admitted to a Geriatric Acute Unit of a tertiary hospital over a 10 year period. A record was made of demographic, clinical, functional and health-care variables.
