Why the study?
The study was designed to retrospectively determine the risk factors affecting mortality and survival after partial prosthesis treatment of proximal femoral fractures in elderly patients.
What are the risk factors affecting mortality and survival in patients aged 60 years and over undergoing hemiarthroplasty for proximal femoral fractures?
Population
94 patients aged 60 years and over undergoing hemiarthroplasty for proximal femur fracture
Design
Retrospective study
Key result
Higher ASA scores and multiple comorbidities significantly decreased survival time (p=0.000), while surgery within the first 5 days positively affected survival (p=0.018) in elderly patients.

What are the risk factors affecting mortality and survival in patients aged 60 years and over undergoing hemiarthroplasty for proximal femoral fractures?
p-value: p=0.000
In elderly patients undergoing hemiarthroplasty for hip fracture, ASA values, comorbidities, and early surgery (within 5 days) are important predictors of postoperative mortality and survival.
DURAN et al. (2022) conducted an observational in Proximal femoral fracture (hip fracture) (n=94). Risk factors (ASA score, comorbidities, time to surgery) vs. Lower risk factors (lower ASA score, fewer comorbidities, early surgery) was evaluated on Mortality and survival time (p=0.000). Higher ASA scores and multiple comorbidities significantly decreased survival time (p=0.000), while surgery within the first 5 days positively affected survival (p=0.018) in elderly patients.
