  1. Table 2. No significant correlation was observed in the anesthesia method, operation time, median time from admission to operation, postoperative length of stay, and total length of stay between the HA and PFNA groups. The HA group showed more blood loss (P < 0.001; Wilcoxon W = 2120.5) and more blood transfusions (P < 0.001; Wilcoxon W = 1821) and required less time to achieve partial standing (P < 0.001; Wilcoxon W = 39) than the PFNA group. There was a difference in the mean albumin level on postoperative day 5 (P = 0.039; T = − 2.147) and the mean white blood cell count on postoperative day 3 (P = 0.013; T = 2.596).
