Risk factors including age, arrhythmia, NLR, and postoperative events were associated with 1-year mortality; leaves open need for prospective validation before guiding care.
In critically ill older adults undergoing hip fracture surgery, advanced age, preoperative arrhythmias, high neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, postoperative respiratory failure, and acute cardiovascular events are independent predictors of 1-year mortality.
