Abstract
Background: Hip fractures represent a significant burden to every orthopaedic department. Acute gastrointestinal haemorrhage is a postoperative complication associated with increased mortality. Stress ulcer prophylaxis such as the use of proton pump inhibitors is an important measure to decrease this perioperative complication. There are no guidelines on the prescription of prophylactic proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) to hip fracture patients.
