Abstract
Predicting the severity of COVID-19 in patients with hip fractures is of great importance, as this category of patients is particularly vulnerable and often has additional risk factors such as older age, comorbidities, and reduced mobility. Accordingly, the risk of developing a severe form of COVID-19 in such patients is higher, which can lead to an increase in mortality and complications. The aim of the current review is to find methods for predicting the severity of the course of coronavirus infection in patients with hip fractures.The review included publications on methods for predicting the course of coronovirus infection in patients with traumatological pathology. Separately, cases with fractures of the proximal femur were considered.The search strategy included the use of the MeSH system and the keywords “hip fracture”, “coronavirus infection”, OR “COVID 19” AND “proximal femur fracture”.All citations were formatted using EndNote X6 software (Clarivate Analytics, New York, USA). Restrictions on the year of publication of articles were not applied.Key words: hip fracture, coronavirus infection, COVID 19, fracture of the proximal femur.
