Factors associated with one year mortality in ill patients with proximal femoral fractures treated non operatively
2021, InjuryCitation Excerpt :The proportion of death in one year in female was 3 times higher than in men (75% vs 25%). This finding is opposed to the published results that men have two times more risk of death comparing to women [13,14]. A possible explanation is the average age of female patients that was statically higher than men (82.8 vs 71.1) which may reflect a more fragile patient.
Walking ability before and after a hip fracture in elderly predict greater long-term survivorship
2016, Journal of Orthopaedic ScienceCitation Excerpt :This finding is present also in other studies with women to have significantly lower mortality after surgery, with a possible explanation that men have more comorbid diseases than women [11,22,6,23]. However, many studies fail to demonstrate gender as a risk factor of early mortality in patients who underwent surgery after a hip fracture [24,4,20,25,17]. A similar finding is present in the present study, as gender does not seem to have an impact in mortality in patients with a hip fracture.
Favorable radiographic outcomes using the expandable proximal femoral nail in the treatment of hip fractures - A randomized controlled trial
2014, Journal of OrthopaedicsCitation Excerpt :Randomization was done by sealed envelopes that were prepared in advance using a computer-generated randomized list and concealment was strictly maintained. Each patient's background data were collected on admission, and included age, gender, laterality of the fracture, comorbidities (specifically, ischemic heart disease, congestive heart failure, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, history of cerebrovascular accident, chronic renal failure, atrial fibrillation, Parkinson's disease and dementia), pharmacological treatment, smoking status, ASA score,17 residency (living in own home, nursing home or institution), social function and independence status [using Jensen's classification]18 and mobility [using Parker and Palmer's scoring system].19 Surgery was performed on the first available operative day following optimization of the patient's medical state.
Does the use of a "track and trigger" warning system reduce mortality in trauma patients?
2011, InjuryCitation Excerpt :This study has not formally assessed pre-operative co-morbidities. Studies which do account for co-morbidities have shown no increase in mortality in male patients with hip fractures as compared with females.17–19 Men in the Scottish hip fracture audit had higher ASA scores and pre-operative morbidity compared to females.
