Description
Filip Brzeszczyński and co-authors reviewed blood and tissue markers of muscle wasting in hip fracture patients, in a 2024 paper. Hip fractures carry high illness and death rates. Wasting, called sarcopenia, worsens the outlook but is hard to spot in surgical patients. A simple marker could flag it at admission.
The team searched three databases under standard review rules. Seven studies with 515 patients met the bar. Most patients were women in their early eighties. Six studies used blood samples, and one used muscle biopsy. Marker quality was scored with a set tool. The review maps which markers deserve a clinical trial run.
