Perioperative multi-system optimization protocol in elderly hip fracture patients: a randomized-controlled trial.

CONCLUSIONS: The implementation of a perioperative multi-system optimization protocol algorithm did not significantly reduce the risk of postoperative complications. Nevertheless, we likely over-estimated the potential treatment effect in our study design and thus were under-powered to show an effect. TRIAL REGISTRATION: Clinicaltrials.gov (NCT01673776).
