The values are expressed as mean ± standard deviation (SD). HF: hip fracture; MCV: mean corpuscular volume; MCH: mean corpuscular haemoglobin; MCHC: mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration; RDW: red-cell distribution width; eGFR: estimated glomerular filtration rate; ALT: alanine aminotransferase; ALP: alkaline phosphatase; GGT: gamma glutamyltransferase; TSH: thyroid-stimulating hormone; T4: total thyroxin.
