Time to Death and Nursing Home Admission in Older Adults with Hip Fracture: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT: Background: Hip fractures in older adults are sentinel events linked to high mortality and functional decline. Few studies have quantified long-term survival probabilities, standardized mortality ratios (SMRs), and risks of new nursing home admission alongside patient-related predictors. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 355 patients aged ≥ 60 years who underwent hip fracture surgery at a general hospital in Japan (2020-2024). Primary outcomes were mortality and new nursing home admission. Survival probabilities and remaining life expectancy were estimated, and SMRs were calculated using age- and sex-matched national data. Cox regression identified independent predictors. Results: Mean age was 84 years; 76% were female. Mortality probabilities at 1, 2, and 3 years w
