Key result
Delayed surgery beyond 48 hours significantly increased the odds of one-year mortality (OR 2.45) in patients undergoing orthopedic surgery for hip fractures.
Why the study?
Hip fractures are a major public health concern associated with high morbidity and mortality, prompting an investigation into factors linked to one-year mortality.

What are the predictors of one-year mortality in patients undergoing surgery for hip fractures?
Odds Ratio: 2.45 (95% CI 1.3–4.82)
p-value: p=0.043
In patients undergoing hip fracture surgery, delayed surgery beyond 48 hours, higher ASA class, and specific fracture types are significant predictors of one-year mortality.
Badghish et al. (2025) conducted a cohort in Hip fractures (n=73). Delayed surgery (>48 h) vs. Surgery within 48 h was evaluated on One-year mortality (OR 2.45, 95% CI 1.30-4.82, p=0.043). Delayed surgery beyond 48 hours significantly increased the odds of one-year mortality (OR 2.45) in patients undergoing orthopedic surgery for hip fractures.
