Prognostic Value of Glycated Hemoglobin in Frail Older Diabetic Patients With Hip Fracture
BackgroundPrevious studies have shown increased risk of fracture in older patients with poor or strict glycemic control (glycated hemoglobin, HbA1c, ≥ 8% or < 6-7% respectively); however, these reports did not investigate the oldest-old population. Comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) and...
