“…This indicates a floor effect in terms of return to function with poorer pre-fracture ambulation status and is consistent with previous reports documenting decreased odds of change in ambulatory status as pre-fracture ambulatory function decreases. 4,30 Other studies have reported an association between poor recovery of ambulation after hip fracture repair and CCI 24,31 and delirium episodes, 4 similar to the STRIDE results.…”

“…The main reason for these fractures in this age group is a simple fall in combination with an osteoporotic bone. Multiple comorbidities are complicating the perioperative procedure in these patients [2].

“…Elderly patients with cardiovascular and respiratory comorbid diseases experience increased complications and mortality rates (3)(4)(5)(6). Previous national and international studies have investigated risk factors that affect morbidity and mortality in these patients, including age, sex, ASA score, present comorbid diseases, drug usage, type of fracture, surgical interventions, method of anesthesia, duration of surgery, patients' referral time to the emergency ward (IWH, in working hours; OWH, out of working hours), time before surgery, and intensive care unit (ICU) and hospital stay durations.…”
