Association of acute kidney injury stages with in-hospital and long-term mortality in older adults with hip fractures.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hip fractures and acute kidney injury (AKI) are common among older adults and are each associated with increased morbidity and mortality. We aimed to evaluate whether AKI severity is associated with increased mortality and institutionalization in older adult patients with hip fractures.

Methods

This single-centre, retrospective study included patients aged ≥65 years who underwent surgery for hip fractures. Those with stage 4 or 5 chronic kidney disease or end-stage kidney disease were excluded. AKI was defined and categorized according to the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes guideline. Patients who did not develop AKI served as the reference group for subsequent analyses.

Results

Overall, 661 older adults with hip fractures were included (median ag
