AB123. 230. Fragility hip fracture & mortality: a 4-year single institution, multiple surgeon and retrospective cohort study

Abstract

Background: Fragility hip fractures are the most common serious injury of our older patients. Due to increasing life expectancy worldwide, the current global prevalence of hip fractures (~2 million) is predicted to increase threefold by 2050. Recent studies show that hip fracture registries may be contributing to a reduction in 30-day mortality. The objective of the present study was threefold: (I) to assess the local hospital compliance with international hip fracture quality care standards over the years 2013–2016; (II) to establish the local hospital inpatient, 30-day and 1-year mortality rates for a 4-year cohort of fragility hip fracture patients (n=646 patients); and (III) to perform a logistical regression analysis to ascertain associations between patient and organisational variables and increased risk of death within 1-year post fragility hip fracture in our cohort.
