Risk factors for mortality after hip fracture surgery in Japan using the National Database of Health Insurance Claims and Specific Health Checkups of Japan.

ABSTRACT: We investigated the risk factors for mortality of hip fracture in the elderly using the National Database of Health Insurance Claims in Japan, and survival was significantly related to sex, age, fracture type, surgical procedure, delayed operative date, comorbidities, blood transfusions, and pulmonary embolism.

Purpose

Hip fracture is the most common fracture in the elderly and is known to have a high mortality rate. In Japan, to the best of our knowledge, no studies have reported on mortality risk factors for hip fracture using nationwide registry databases. This study aimed to determine the number of occurrences of hip fracture and factors that increase mortality using the National Database of Health Insurance Claims and Specific Health Checkups of Japan.
