Mortality after hip fracture is a major problem in the Western world, but its mechanisms remain uncertain. This study assessed the 2-year mortality rate after hip fracture in elderly patients by including hospital factors (eg, intervention type, surgical delay), underlying health conditions, and, for a subset, lifestyle factors (eg, body mass index, smoking, alcohol). A total of 828 patients (183 men) 70 to 99 years old experiencing a hip fracture in 2009 in the province of Varese were included…

Long-term functional outcome after a low-energy hip fracture in elderly patients
TLDR
Long-term functional outcome in elderly patients with hip fractures significantly deteriorated, with an increased dependency for mobility and housing conditions and a decreased physical quality of life.
One-year mortality of elderly patients with hip fracture surgically treated at a hospital in Southern Brazil☆
Predictive factors of mortality of patients with fragility hip fractures at 1 year after discharge: A multicenter, retrospective study in the northern Kyushu district of Japan
TLDR
Previous vertebral fractures and BI <30 were the predictive variables of mortality for male patients, and BMI <18.5 kg/m2, TCCI ≥5, smoking history, LOS <14 days, and BI<30 were those for females.
One Year Mortality in Elderly Patients with Fracture Proximal Femur Managed Surgically in District Headquarter Hospital Rawalpindi
TLDR
Elderly female patients age 80 years and above operated for neck of femur fractures exhibited a higher mortality rate at one year follow up than others.
Long-term Patient-reported Quality of Life and Pain After a Multidisciplinary Clinical Pathway for Elderly Patients With Hip Fracture: A Retrospective Comparative Cohort Study
TLDR
A multidisciplinary clinical pathway approach for elderly patients with a hip fracture is associated with a reduced time to surgery and reduced postoperative complications, while no differences were found in quality of life, pain, or mortality.

Long- Term Outcome of Hip Fracture in Elderly Rural Indian Population
TLDR
The number of hip fractures would rise to double worldwide by the year 2050, especially in elderly populations over 65 years old and if the world numbers are to be believed, the estimated incidence of hip fracture will rise from 1.66 million in 1990 to about 6.26 million by theyear 2050.
Effectiveness of a Multidisciplinary Clinical Pathway for Elderly Patients With Hip Fracture
TLDR
An MCP approach is associated with reduced time to surgery, postoperative complications, and length of stay, without a significant difference in 30-day mortality.
Comparative analysis of non-simultaneous bilateral fractures of the proximal femur
TLDR
Contralateral femoral fracture was accompanied by a higher revision and mortality rate—but patients were also 5 years older, and dementia and male gender were significant negative variables for the survival time.

Predictors of mortality after hip fracture: a 10-year prospective study.
TLDR
The increased mortality risk was highest during the first year after hip fracture and returned to the risk of the standard population 3 years postoperatively, and Males who are 65 to 84 years had the highest mortality risk.
Excess mortality after hip fracture among elderly women in Norway
TLDR
It was found that elderly women who sustained a hip fracture had increased mortality risk, and was not explained by pre-fracture medical conditions.
Risk of mortality and predisposing factors after osteoporotic hip fracture: a one-year follow-up study
TLDR
Patients with hip fracture, had substantially higher mortality than comparable healthy people, and mortality was highest in the first six months after fracture, and age and prior comorbidities were associated with excess mortality.
The effect of hip fracture on mortality, hospitalization, and functional status: a prospective study.
TLDR
The health of older adults deteriorates after hip fracture, and efforts to reduce the incidence of hip fracture could lower subsequent mortality, morbidity, and health services use.

There is a paucity of data concerning the specific associations between hip fracture in the elderly and other age-related conditions, as well as its impact on long-term survival. This study was aimed…
The effect of hospital type and surgical delay on mortality after surgery for hip fracture.
TLDR
In-hospital mortality increased as the surgical delay increased and was strongest for patients younger than 70 years of age and with no comorbidities but was independent of hospital status, suggesting that any delay to surgery for non-medical reasons is detrimental to a patient's outcome.
Predictors of mortality and institutionalization after hip fracture: the New Haven EPESE cohort. Established Populations for Epidemiologic Studies of the Elderly.
TLDR
The frequency of death, institutionalization, and loss of function after hip fracture should prompt a reevaluation of the current approach to this problem.
Factors associated with mortality following hip fracture in Japan
TLDR
Dementia, dementia, diabetes mellitus, and a history of gastrectomy or colonectomy were risk factors for death among the comorbidities, and pneumonia during hospitalization was a risk factor for death.
Early mortality after hip fracture: is delay before surgery important?
TLDR
Mortality was not increased when the surgery was delayed up to four days for patients who were otherwise fit for hip fracture surgery, however, a delay of more than four days significantly increased mortality.
Mortality associated with delay in operation after hip fracture: observational study
TLDR
Delays in operation is associated with an increased risk of death but not readmission after a fractured neck of femur, even with adjustment for comorbidity, and there is wide variation between trusts.
