Key result
Surgical delay and American Society of Anesthesiologists score were significant predictors of one-year mortality among elderly patients with hip fractures, who had an overall one-year mortality of 15.3%.
Why the study?
What are the predictors of one-year and in-hospital mortality in elderly patients admitted for hip fracture?

What are the predictors of one-year and in-hospital mortality in elderly patients admitted for hip fracture?
Surgical delay and higher ASA scores are significant, potentially modifiable predictors of one-year mortality in elderly patients with hip fractures.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May identify modifiable targets in elderly hip fracture care; leaves open whether interventions reduce mortality.
Ribeiro et al. (2014) conducted a cohort in Hip fracture (n=418). Surgical delay (time to surgery) was evaluated on Death at one year. Surgical delay and American Society of Anesthesiologists score were significant predictors of one-year mortality among elderly patients with hip fractures, who had an overall one-year mortality of 15.3%.
