Why the study?
Do centenarians with hip fractures have different clinical characteristics and outcomes compared to other age groups over 75 years?
Do centenarians with hip fractures have different clinical characteristics and outcomes compared to other age groups over 75 years?
Despite having worse outcomes than younger elderly patients, nearly 80% of centenarians survive at least one month following hip fracture surgery.
High 30-day survival supports cautious surgical consideration in centenarians; leaves open prospective studies on function and quality of life.
Centenarians had different clinical characteristics, management and outcomes. Although centenarians had worse outcomes, nearly 4 out of 5 centenarians were alive one month after surgery.
