Study summary
Society faces a major challenge with the management of the health and socio-economic burden caused by acute physical stress in the older population (\>75 years). In particular, hip fracture (HF) represents a major health care preoccupation, affecting 1.6 M patients worldwide, resulting in a significant drop of life quality and autonomy. Nowadays, this trauma is still associated with a poor outcome of 20-30% one-year mortality in the elderly. This emphasizes the value of assessing biological factors that may predict clinical outcome after HF. The preliminary work pinpoints a central role of neopterin in loss of autonomy and death. Using HF as an acute stress model that accelerates the progressive course of aging, the aim is to validate neopterin as a predictive biomarker of pernicious clinical outcomes.
