Key result
Surgical delay time was a significant predictor of 30-day mortality in geriatric patients with hip fractures (OR 2.006; 95% CI 1.02-0.372; P<0.001).
Why the study?
This study aimed to determine predictive factors affecting 30-day mortality in geriatric hip fractures, evaluate the effect of surgical timing, and identify the optimum cut-off time for surgical delay.

Population

Comparison
Predictive factors including surgical delay time, anesthesia type, and patient characteristics
Design
Retrospective study
Follow-up

Should not yet alter surgical timing practices; leaves open whether reducing delay improves survival in prospective trials.

What are the predictive factors associated with 30-day mortality in geriatric patients with hip fractures?
Odds Ratio: 2.006 (95% CI 1.02–0.372)
p-value: p=<0.001
A surgical delay of up to 3 days may be acceptable for medical optimization in geriatric patients with hip fractures, as longer delays are associated with increased 30-day mortality.
Kavak et al. (2022) conducted an observational in Geriatric hip fractures (n=596). Surgical delay time was evaluated on 30-day mortality (OR 2.006, 95% CI 1.02-0.372, p=<0.001). Surgical delay time was a significant predictor of 30-day mortality in geriatric patients with hip fractures (OR 2.006; 95% CI 1.02-0.372; P<0.001).
