Blood Transfusion and Overall Quality of Life After Hip Fracture in Frail Elderly Patients-The Transfusion Requirements in Frail Elderly Randomized Controlled Trial

According to our Hb threshold criteria, OQoL and RBC transfusion strategies for frail elderly hip fracture patients are not associated. However, for survivors with less severe dementia, ADL recovery after 1 year is greater following a liberal transfusion strategy than a restrictive strategy. OQoL progress and ADL recovery were associated.
