Brief Summary:
The investigators aimed to compare the costs and consequences of 'routine perioperative fluid therapy' and 'GDHT in terms of morbidity, mortality, length of hospital stay, activity of daily living, health related quality of life, cognitive functions and need of social services and up till 12 months following operations of proximal femoral fracture at elderly. The primary hypothesis is that 'GDHT is a better strategy than 'routine fluid therapy' in terms of reduced frequency of postoperative complications.
Detailed Description:
The investigation is an open, randomized clinical study of individuals suffering from a proximal femoral fracture. The total study duration for each subject is approximately 12 months (+- 1 month); each patient will have 4'visits' (i.e. when PI extracts data to database) including regular praxis total: at registration; at discharge; 4 months and finally at 12 months after the surgery. For practical and logistic reasons, an interim-analysis will be conducted after approximately 100 patients whose data are completed.
