[Results of Surgically Treated Patients for Hip Fracture - Complications, Mortality].

CONCLUSIONS Mortality has significantly decreased between 2003 and 2013 (p < 0.001). We didn't find a correlation between mortality and delay of surgery up to 4 days. That means that a complicated operation such as hip arthroplasty could be postponed and operated in more comfortable conditions (in superaseptic OR) by orthopedic surgeons. Although we haven't identified any modifiable risk factor, we believe that the reasons for better survival are multifactorial as discussed. Key words: hip fracture, proximal femoral fracture, mortality, complications, time to surgery. PMID: 29351524 [PubMed - in process]
