“…Survival analysis revealed a 32% mortality rate in patients with hip fragility fractures at 1 year of follow-up, contrasting with an 11% mortality rate in the vertebral fracture group. These rates are concordant with the reported rates in the available medical literature [ 3 , 12 , 18 , 22 , 31 , 41 ]. Survival in the vertebral fracture group was better than that of the hip fracture group throughout the 12 months of the study.…”

“…Less than 50% of patients are expected to reach their pre-injury functional status with the majority losing complete independence and being institutionalized [ 3 , 4 , 12 , 15 , 16 ]. About half of the patients report persistent pain one or more years after their hip fracture [ 13 , 14 , 17 , 18 ]. As for the mortality rate, hip fractures are associated with a 25–35% mortality rate at 1 year after the incident fracture, mostly due to age and comorbid diseases [ [18] , [19] , [20] , [21] , [22] ].…”
