ABSTRACT: Background
Hip fractures (HFs) are major osteoporotic injuries associated with morbidity, loss of independence, increased mortality, and an increased socioeconomic burden. The total number of HFs is increasing owing to an aging population. While studies have focused on 30-day or 1-year mortality after HF surgery, studies reporting long-term mortality are lacking. Our study bridges this knowledge gap by exploring the relationship between frailty, postoperative complications, and the 5-year mortality after HF surgery. This study aimed to identify the risk factors associated with 5-year mortality after HF surgery. The impact of the Hip-Multidimensional Frailty Score (Hip-MFS) and postoperative complications on 5-year mortality was compared.Methods
