Geriatric cognitive frailty and short-term prognosis following hip fracture surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To evaluate the prevalence of cognitive frailty in geriatric patients with hip fractures and to assess its association with short-term postoperative complications following surgical intervention.

Methods

This single-centre observational study enrolled geriatric patients (aged ≥ 65 years) undergoing surgical intervention for hip fracture. Patients were stratified into cognitive frailty and non-cognitive frailty groups based on assessments using the FRAIL scale and the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). Clinical outcomes, including duration of hospitalisation and postoperative complications (e.g., cardiovascular, pulmonary, cerebrovascular, gastrointestinal events, and delirium), were compared between the cohorts. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was em
