Validation and Adaptation of the Nottingham Hip Fracture Score to Predict 30-Day and 1-Year Mortality Among Italian Older Adults Hospitalized Due to Hip Fractures.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: Older people with hip fractures (HF) are highly heterogeneous patients at risk of adverse events, which impacts healthcare and economic systems. Tools for estimating 30-day and 1-year mortality may help optimize patient management decisions. The Nottingham Hip Fracture Score (NHFS) is one of the most reliable tools for assessing 30-day mortality after surgery. The aim is to validate the NHFS in a cohort of Italian patients hospitalized due to HF and enhance its predictive capacity against 30-day and 1-year mortality. Methods: A prospective observational study among older patients with HF who underwent surgery after a comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA). Data about 30-day and 1-year mortality were gathered from regional registries. Logistic regressi
