Key result
In elderly patients undergoing hemiarthroplasty for femoral neck fractures, age ≥ 75 years independently increased the risk of mortality (OR 3.957), along with bedridden pre-fracture mobility, cardiovascular disease, and unstable fractures.
Why the study?
The study was conducted to investigate the risk factors for mortality in elderly patients who underwent hemiarthroplasty for femoral neck fractures over a five-year follow-up period.

What are the risk factors associated with mortality in elderly patients receiving hemiarthroplasty for femoral neck fractures?
Odds Ratio: 3.957 (95% CI 1.323–11.841)
p-value: p=0.014
Advanced age, limited pre-fracture mobility, cardiovascular comorbidities, and unstable fractures are independent predictors of mortality in elderly patients undergoing hemiarthroplasty for femoral neck fractures.
Zeng et al. (2025) conducted a cohort in Femoral neck fractures (n=80). Age ≥ 75 years vs. Age < 75 years was evaluated on Mortality (OR 3.957, 95% CI 1.323-11.841, p=0.014). In elderly patients undergoing hemiarthroplasty for femoral neck fractures, age ≥ 75 years independently increased the risk of mortality (OR 3.957), along with bedridden pre-fracture mobility, cardiovascular disease, and unstable fractures.
