Patients aged >90 years who underwent hip fracture surgery are more likely to die at 6 months than those aged 85-89 years. Pre-fracture disability and POD are predictors of this excess of mortality.

The study shows that hypoactive delirium is the most common subtype among hospitalized older patients. Specific clinical features were associated with different delirium subtypes. The use of standardized instruments can help to characterize the phenomenology of different motor subtypes of delirium.

In frail older people, hip fracture co-management, with the geriatrician as primary attendant, leads to satisfying outcomes. The OC-1 and OC-2 courses exhibit similar clinical results. An improvement in several organisational aspects, including coordination between hospital and rehabilitation services, is warranted.
