Increased life expectancy has led to an increased incidence of hip fractures in aged people. Patients reporting hip fractures often show relevant comorbidities leading to prolonged hospital stays, significant complications, and higher mortality rates. Being aware of the factors associated with in-hospital death or adverse events can help patients and healthcare providers make informed planning and management. The aims of this study were the development and validation of a score predicting in-hospital mortality among hip fractured patients.

Abstract

Increased life expectancy has led to an increased incidence of hip fractures in aged people. Patients reporting hip fractures often show relevant comorbidities leading to prolonged hospital stays, significant complications, and higher mortality rates. Being aware of the factors associated with in-hospital death or adverse events can help patients and healthcare providers make informed planning and management. The aims of this study were the development and validation of a score predicting in-hospital mortality among hip fractured patients.
