Data literature lacks of evidence concerning the variation of the nutritional status in patients undergoing hip surgery, thus preventing an effective application a nutritional support program. It is therefore necessary to start identifying the clinical steps (pre-operative and post-operative) that may be defined as critical control points for malnutrition. Patients undergoing hip surgery would be enrolled before the surgical operation and would be evaluated three times: preoperative, postoperative, and after discharge. The observation should foresee the identification of nutritional status indicators, such as weight, hemoglobin, albumin, food intake, and others that might affect a proper recovery. This study aims to investigate the prognostic nutritional factors that might influence clinical outcomes, and their variation in relation to hospitalization and rehabilitation periods.
