Older adults often present with multiple comorbidities and face significant postoperative complications. This study aimed to describe the role of Nurse Practitioner (NP)-led orthogeriatric services in managing hip fracture patients. We conducted a review of health records of older adults with hip and proximal femoral fractures between July 2017 and June 2018, presenting descriptive statistics on patient characteristics, surgical outcomes, and the involvement of orthogeriatric services. A total of 197 participants were included, with a majority being female (n = 132; 67.0%). Most patients (53.8%; n = 106) had between five and nine pre-existing conditions. Among the 192 patients who underwent surgery, 69.8% (n = 134) experienced up to four surgical complications. The Nurse Practitioner provided care to 89.1% (n = 163) of the patients within the orthogeriatric service, with half of the patients (n = 82) requiring at least five NP interventions to manage complex pre- and postoperative needs. Refining the NP-led model could potentially help reduce the burden on physicians and surgeons in treating complex medical conditions, especially in settings where geriatricians may not be readily available.

Diagnostic criteria of malnutrition phenotypes have been recently updated. Uncovering the prevalence of these conditions in patients undergoing hip replacement may be crucial in order to apply the most appropriate diagnostic-therapeutic paths to the right patient at the right time. Sixty patients aged between 60 and 85 undergoing elective hip replacement were recruited. Preoperative measures concerning eating behaviors, anthropometry, physical performance, laboratory parameters, and patient reported measures of pain and function were collected, used to make diagnosis, and explored whether they differed based on malnutrition categorization. Patients undernourished were 18.75%, sarcopenic 13.34%, sarcopenic obesity 4.26%, and 8.88% undernourished and sarcopenic. Well-nourished patients ate more cereals and meat, exhibited lower white blood cells but higher lymphocytes, and reported greater hip-related pain. One in three older patients undergoing elective hip replacement was malnourished. Eating behaviors and leucocytes were the discriminating factors between malnourished and well-nourished. It remains to be established whether malnutrition affects outcome after surgery.
