Risk Factors for Readmission Within 30 Days After Discharge Following Hip Fracture Surgery: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: Hip fractures in older patients frequently lead to early readmissions, which negatively impact patient outcomes and significantly increase healthcare costs. Identifying and understanding risk factors for 30-day readmission following hip fracture surgery is essential for improving patient management and optimizing healthcare resource utilization. Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted using PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library databases up to 30 December 2024. Studies investigating potential risk factors for 30-day readmission following hip fracture surgery were included. The risk factors were meta-analytically pooled, and odds ratios (ORs) were calculated using a random-effects model. Results: Twelve studies comprising 128,053
