Key result
In patients aged 75 and older with hip fractures, overall first-year mortality was 40%, with age over 85 and total hip arthroplasty identified as significant risk factors (p=0.0003 for both).

What are the prognostic factors for first-year mortality in patients older than 75 years undergoing surgery for proximal femoral fractures?

What are the prognostic factors for first-year mortality in patients older than 75 years undergoing surgery for proximal femoral fractures?
p-value: p=0.0003
In patients over 75 with hip fractures, age >85 and treatment with total hip arthroplasty are significant risk factors for first-year mortality.
Karademir et al. (2015) conducted a cohort in Proximal femoral fractures (n=115). Prognostic factors (age >85, total hip arthroplasty, blood transfusion) vs. Younger age (75-85), proximal femoral nail was evaluated on First year mortality (p=0.0003). In patients aged 75 and older with hip fractures, overall first-year mortality was 40%, with age over 85 and total hip arthroplasty identified as significant risk factors (p=0.0003 for both).
