Postoperative delirium is a risk factor of institutionalization after hip fracture: an observational cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Hip fracture is a common clinical problem in geriatric patients often associated with poor postoperative outcomes. Postoperative delirium (POD) and postoperative neurocognitive disorders (NCDs) are particularly frequent. The consequences of these disorders on postoperative recovery and autonomy are not fully described.
