Fragility hip fractures in a Saudi Arabian population are associated with a high mortality rate of nearly 27% and significant functional decline, strongly influenced by age and ASA score.
Sadat‐Ali et al. (2017) conducted an observational in Fragility proximal femoral fractures (n=189). Fragility hip fracture was evaluated on Overall mortality rate. Fragility hip fractures were associated with an overall mortality rate of 26.98%, with significantly higher mortality in patients with an ASA score of 4 compared to 1 (36.36% vs 20.45%, p<0.001).
