Core Tip	Hip fracture is a growing public health problem because of population aging. Recovery from hip fracture can be slow and complicated by morbidities and decline in functional abilities. Perioperative anaemia is common with hip fractures. However, it is uncertain at which time point haemoglobin level is most strongly associated with different clinical outcomes after hip fracture surgery. Better understanding of the relationship between perioperative haemoglobin and mortality, length of hospital stay, functional status, postoperative complications, hospital readmission and admission to residential care after discharge, is required.
