Abstract
Purpose

To identify factors that could be associated to increased mortality in patients over 60 years of age with a hip fracture that undergo surgery.

Materials and methods

This is a prospective study of 90 patients carried out with the aim of identifying what are in our environment the risk factors associated to increased mortality in elderly patients subjected to surgery further to sustaining a hip fracture. Inclusion criteria were as follows: being older than 60 years of age, not having a pathological fracture and staying alive during hospitalization. All patients were followed up for one year or until their passing away. Risk factors analyzed in the study were: age, gender, general health status, mental impairment and functional status prior to fracture, as well as fracture type.

Conclusions

Gender and prior health status were the risk variables for which statistically significant differences were observed in terms of mortality at one year. In contrast, age and pre-fracture mental status stayed just below the statistical significant threshold for p<0.05. Prior functional status and fracture type were not identified as risk factors.

Resumen
Objetivo

Identificar los factores que pudieran conllevar un aumento de mortalidad en los pacientes de más de 60 años intervenidos de fractura de cadera.

Material y método

Realizamos un estudio prospectivo de 90 pacientes para identificar en nuestro entorno los factores de riesgo relacionados con el aumento de la mortalidad de los pacientes de edad avanzada que, tras una fractura de cadera, fueron tratados mediante cirugía. Los criterios de inclusión fueron: tener más de 60 años, no tener una fractura patológica y no haber fallecido durante el ingreso. Todos ellos fueron seguidos durante 1 año o hasta su defunción. Los factores de riesgo analizados en el estudio fueron: edad, sexo, estado general de salud, deterioro mental y estado funcional previo a la fractura y el tipo de fractura.

Conclusiones

El sexo y el estado general previo fueron variables de riesgo que mostraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas para la mortalidad al año, mientras que la edad y el estado mental antes de la fractura quedaron en el límite de significación (po0,05). El estado funcional previo y el tipo de fractura no se mostraron como factores de riesgo.
