Abstract
There have been concerns about the negative effects of general anaesthesia in elderly hip fracture patients. For full informed consent, data from carefully designed clinical trials with functional outcome measures in older patients are essential. The development and implementation of such knowledge can be improved by using standardized functional outcomes in perioperative research.
