Mortality and quality of life after proximal femur fracture—effect of time until surgery and reasons for delay

Abstract: In proximal femoral fractures, a delay of surgery up to 48 hours did not influence mortality and Barthel Index negatively, nor did other associating factors. Only the patients age at the time of injury influences mortality rate, survival time, and Barthel Index significantly. The older the patient at the time of injury; the higher the mortality rate, the shorter the survival time and the lower the Barthel Index.

“…We also conducted sensitivity analyses by adding unadjusted data on mortality from the remaining studies to the meta-analysis, irrespective of their bias risk. Adding the non-adjusted data did not alter the results for long-term mortality (RR 0.74, 95% CI 0.64-0.84, 8,903 patients) 13 , 39 , 43 , 46 , 51 , 57 , 59 , 62 , 65 , 68 (see Fig. 2 ).…”

“…We selected surgery up to day 1 after admission as early surgery because in most studies, early intervention is defined as surgery performed within 24 h after admission or injury. 13 Next, we analyzed 23 parameters as potential factors that delay surgery or affect postsurgical outcome: age at admission gender, pre-injury residence, pre-injury ambulatory ability, day of admission (admission during weekend/public holiday), fracture site (femoral neck fracture or trochanteric fracture), fracture type (stable or unstable type), results of blood tests and urinalysis at admission, chest radiographic abnormalities, electrocardiographic abnormalities, number of systemic chronic diseases, 23 status of dementia, surgical modality (osteosynthesis or femoral head replacement), status of blood transfusion, postoperative complication (requiring treatment by specialists other than orthopedic surgeon), length of hospital stay, ambulatory ability at discharge, and hospital death ( Table 1).…”

“…Abgesehen von der sozioökonomischen Seite weisen HF erhöhte Mortalitätsraten auf: Die Klinikmortalität liegt zwischen 5,5 und 8,3 %, die 1‑Monat-Mortalität zwischen 5 und 10 %, die 3‑Monate-Mortalität zwischen 10,1 und 14,5 % und die 1‑Jahres-Mortalität zwischen 15 und 23,9 % [ 16 , 17 , 20 ].…”
