AbstractAbstract PDF
The significant risk to life associated with the hip fracture has long been recognized, and the reports of poor prognosis are well known with wide range of mortality rates. We retrospectively studied 164 patients(older than 60 years) who had a hip fracture to determine the effects of the age, treatment methods, pre-existing medical condition, operative delay after injury, type of fracture, and others on patient mortality. The summarized results were as follows ; 1. One hundred twenty three patients survived and forty one patients died(overall mortality rate; 25.0%). 2. Twenty one patients died within one year(one-year mortality rate, 12.8%). 3. Mortality was related to age of patient at injury, ASA classification, absense or presence of operative treatment, operation-related complication, which were statistically ignificant (P<0.05). 4. The operative delay after injury did not influence mortality, but we think that it is not signifcant because this study was done retrospectively.
