Key result
In geriatric patients admitted to the ICU following hip fracture surgery, APACHE score (p<0.001), Age-adjusted Charlson Comorbidity Index (p=0.027), and hospital length of stay (p=0.001) were statistically significant predictors of ICU expenses.

APACHE score, Age-adjusted Charlson Comorbidity Index, and hospital length of stay are significant predictors of ICU costs for geriatric patients following hip fracture surgery, which may help in risk-adjusting bundled payment models.
May identify high-cost geriatric ICU cases post-hip fracture; hypothesis-generating for risk adjustment in bundled payments.

POLAT et al. (2022) conducted an observational in Hip fracture requiring intensive care (n=230). Patient characteristics and fracture status markers (APACHE score, ACCI, length of stay) was evaluated on Predictors of intensive care unit expenses (r2=0.236, p=<0.001). In geriatric patients admitted to the ICU following hip fracture surgery, APACHE score (p<0.001), Age-adjusted Charlson Comorbidity Index (p=0.027), and hospital length of stay (p=0.001) were statistically significant predictors of ICU expenses.
