Mortality and Locomotion 6 Months After Hospitalization for Hip Fracture

Abstract: Mortality and functional status ideally should be considered both together and individually to distinguish effects limited to one or the other outcome. Hospital performance for these 2 measures may differ substantially after adjustment, probably because different processes of care are important to each outcome.

“…7,8 In addition to a high mortality rate, these patients require intensive healthcare and functional rehabilitation for long periods. 2 For 2050, the World Health Organization estimates an annual incidence of 6.26 million fractures. 9 The treatment of choice for most of the fractures is surgery, except for cases in which the patient presents with comorbidities contraindicating surgery, mandatorily leading to a conservative treatment.…”

“…La menor edad en el momento de la fractura aparece en casi la mitad de los trabajos analizados como factor pronósti-co favorable (8,30,38,41,44,48,51,53,54,69,70,73,(89)(90)(91)94,(102)(103)(104)(105)(106)(107). Sin embargo en estudios donde analizan periodos a corto y largo plazo de recuperación (69,107), se pone en evidencia que en periodos de seguimiento cortos de 6 meses aparece la edad como predictor negativo, no apareciendo ésta en periodos de seguimiento más largos de 12 meses tras la fractura.…”

“…La mayoría de los trabajos analizados, la buena situación funcional previa, tanto para la capacidad de la marcha (8,41,44,45,48,51,67,69,70,91,(102)(103)(104)106,118) como para la realización de las actividades básicas de la vida diaria (30,38,70,73,107,114) son factores predictivos de buen pronóstico de recuperación funcional tras la fractura de cadera en ancianos. Algunos trabajos encuentran como factores predictivos a algunas variables concretas, como el no necesitar ayudas para la deambulación anteriormente (119), subir escaleras (103,119), caminar fuera de casa o ser independiente para vestirse (53).…”

“…They may be accompanied by pain, bone deformities, fear, distress, difficulty in per forming daily activities, loss of independence, and insti tutionalization (3). More important, fragility fractures are associated with high mortality rates that can exceed 20% in the first year after the fracture (4,5). These de vastating consequences of osteoporotic fractures result in high economic costs to society, as fractures gene rate expenses with medical treatment, surgeries, hospital stays, and rehabilitation.…”
