Review Meta Analysis
Risk factors for postoperative delirium following hip fracture repair in elderly patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
No formal systematic review or meta-analysis was performed up to now to summarize the risk factors of delirium after hip surgery. ⋯ Related prophylaxis strategies should be implemented in elderly patients involved with above-mentioned risk factors to prevent delirium after hip surgery.

The study aimed to investigate the effects of frailty on clinical outcomes of patients in an intensive care unit (ICU). ⋯ FI may be used as a predictor for the evaluation of elderly patients' clinical outcomes in ICUs.

Preoperative nutritional status and physical function are important predictors of mortality and morbidity after cardiac surgery. However, the influence of nutritional status before cardiac surgery on physical function and the progress of postoperative rehabilitation requires clarification. ⋯ Preoperative nutritional status as assessed by the GNRI could reflect perioperative physical function. Preoperative poor nutritional status may be an independent predictor of the retardation of postoperative rehabilitation in patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery.
