Comprehensive geriatric care reduces acute perioperative delirium in elderly patients with hip fractures: A meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The aim of the current meta-analysis was to assess the treatment effect of comprehensive geriatric care in reducing acute perioperative delirium in older patients with hip fractures, compared with the effect of a routine orthopedic treatment protocol.

Methods

Results

Six RCTs and 1 quasi-
