Predictors for 1-year mortality in geriatric patients following fragile intertrochanteric fracture surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To investigate the risk factors influencing 1-year mortality after intramedullary nail fixation for fragile intertrochanteric fracture in elderly individuals.

Methods

The medical records of 622 consecutive elderly patients (aged ≥ 65 years) with fragile intertrochanteric fractures treated with proximal femoral nail anti-rotation (PFNA) and followed-up were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into death and survival groups according to their survival status within 1 year after surgery, and the differences in age, sex, region of residence, tobacco use, alcohol use, body mass index (BMI), comorbidities (hypertension, diabetes mellitus, coronary heart disease, stroke, dementia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, pneumonia), preoperative hemoglobin,
