Optimización del tratamiento médico en pacientes geriátricos con fractura de cadera. Influencia del equipo consultor geriátrico

GAT patients took a greater number of drugs before admission and during hospitalization and had more diagnoses than the control group. GAT prescription tended to optimize treatment since drug administration is aimed at frequent problems in these patients (anaemia, malnutrition, osteoporosis, pain), which were under-detected and under-treated in the control group. These differences could partly explain the more favorable outcome in patients with hip fracture managed by the GAT.
