Serum creatinine to cystatin C ratio reflects preoperative and early postoperative walking ability in older patients with hip fracture

BACKGROUND: The sarcopenia index (SI), calculated as the ratio of serum creatinine to cystatin C levels, reflects skeletal muscle mass and strength. Patients with hip fracture (HF) and sarcopenia have poor functional outcomes, and many require long‐term care after surgery. We hypothesized that the S...
