Effect of an Inpatient Geriatric Consultation Team on Functional Outcome, Mortality, Institutionalization, and Readmission Rate in Older Adults with Hip Fracture: A Controlled Trial

Abstract

This trial could not document functional benefits of an IGCT intervention in people with hip fracture. More research is needed to investigate whether a more-intensive approach with more-direct control over patient management, more-specific recommendations, and more-intense education would be effective.
