- Abstract
Malnutrition has serious consequences for recovery and increases the risk of complications in hospital patients. Fractured neck of femur (NOF) patients may be particularly at risk because of their old age and frail state of health. We conducted an observational study to evaluate the nutritional state and the nutritional support, which was provided to this group during their stay in hospital.
