Evaluation of risk factors and outcomes associated with mortality after hip fracture surgery in eldery patients

Abstract

Objective: In this retrospective study, it was aimed to compare mortality related risk factors and outcomes in patients who underwent proximal femoral nail and partial hip prosthesis for hip fracture.
 Material and Method: In our study, a total of 618 patient files who underwent hip fracture operations, including partial hip replacement (n=350) and proximal femoral nail (n=268) were retrospectively analyzed. Age, gender, fracture side, cause, type of fracture, type of operation, blood transfusion, hospital stay, anesthesia type and one-year survival times of the patients were examined.
 Results: Gender, age, side, mechanism, anesthesia, comorbid diseases, cause of mortality, one-year mortality and survival time differences between patient groups were not statistically significant (p>0.05). However, fracture type, blood transfusion and hospital stay differences between groups were statistically significant (p

Comparison of mortality rates and risk factors for mortality between proximal femoral nailing and bipolar hemiarthroplasty for hip fractures

“…However, the authors found that postoperative, life-threatening complications were more common in the BHA group. In their study involving 618 patients, İpek et al 15 found no difference between the 1-year survival rates of patients who underwent PFN and BHA. In the current study, the 1-year mortality rate was 26.1% in the BHA group and 25.2% in the PFN group.…”

“…Similar results have been reported in previous studies. 15 Pincus et al 16 analyzed a cohort of 42,230 Canadians in terms of time from diagnosis to surgery. They reported that those who underwent surgery within 24 h of presenting with hip fractures had a lower 30-day mortality rate.…”
