Background: Post-operative anaemia affects up to 90% of patients undergoing major surgery. Post-operative anaemia can contribute to slower rehabilitation, increased morbidity, and increased mortality. Purpose: We aimed to examine the frequency, investigation, and management of anaemia in patients admitted to an Irish, tertiary level hospital (SVUH) with a hip fracture.
