The prediction of early mortality following hip fracture surgery in patients aged 90 years and older: the Almelo Hip Fracture Score 90 (AHFS⁹⁰).

ABSTRACT: The AHFS⁹⁰ was developed for the prediction of early mortality in patients ≥ 90 years undergoing hip fracture surgery. The AHFS⁹⁰ has a good accuracy and in most risk categories a good calibration. In our study population, the AHFS⁹⁰ yielded a maximum prediction of early mortality of 64.5%.

Purpose

Identifying hip fracture patients with a high risk of early mortality after surgery could help make treatment decisions and information about the prognosis. This study aims to develop and validate a risk score for predicting early mortality in patients ≥ 90 years undergoing hip fracture surgery (AHFS⁹⁰).

Methods

Patients ≥ 90 years, surgically treated for a hip fracture, were included. A selection of possible predictors for mortality was
