Abstract
ObjectiveThis study was designed to verify the association between dementia and mortality in the elderly undergoing hip fracture surgery, and assessed the mortality of patients with dementia after hip fracture surgery.Material and methodsPubMed, Embase, and Web of Science were searched until April, 2018 without language restrictions. Two reviewers selected related studies, assessed study quality, and extracted data independently. Risk ratios (RRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were derived using random-effects model throughout all analyses. The endpoints included 30-day, 6-month, 1-year, and more than 1-year mortality. This meta-analysis was performed following PRISMA statement and carried out by using stata14.0 software.ResultsDementia significantly increased postoperative mortality of patients suffered from hip fracture in 30-day [RR = 1.57, 95% CI (1.29, 1.90), P<0.00], 6-month [RR = 1.97, 95% CI (1.47, 2.63), P<0.00], 1-year [RR = 1.77, 95% CI (1.54, 2.04), P<0.00], and more than 1-year follow up [RR = 1.60, 95% CI (1.30, 1.96), P<0.00] respectively. The mortality of dementia patients after hip fracture surgery in 30-day [ES = 12%, 95% CI (8%, 15%)], 6-month [ES = 32%, 95% CI (17%, 48%)], 1-year [ES = 39%, 95% CI (35%, 43%)], and more than 1-year follow up [ES = 45%, 95% CI (32%, 58%)].ConclusionsOur meta-analysis demonstrated that the mortality of patients with dementia suffered from hip fracture surgery is 12%, 32%, 39%, and 45%, and dementia increased 1.57, 1.97, 1.77, and 1.60-fold mortality in patients undergoing hip fracture surgery in 30-day, 6-month, 1-year, and more than 1-year follow up respectively.
Highlights
Hip fractures are being paid more attention due to higher morbidity and mortality
Our meta-analysis demonstrated that the mortality of patients with dementia suffered from hip fracture surgery is 12%, 32%, 39%, and 45%, and dementia increased 1.57, 1.97, 1.77, and 1.60-fold mortality in patients undergoing hip fracture surgery in 30-day, 6-month, 1-year, and more than 1-year follow up respectively
Study selection and eligibility criteria The inclusion criteria are as follows: (1) studies examined the relationship between dementia and mortality among elderly patients undergoing hip fracture surgery; (2) the sample size was more than 200; (3) study designs were cohort study; (4) the mean age is greater than 60 years
Summary
Hip fractures are being paid more attention due to higher morbidity and mortality. These patients usually have poor body compensatory capacity and comorbidities, such as dementia. Dementia is a syndrome characterized by persistent impairment in cognitive function or behavioral abnormalities. Due to the progress of aging society, dementia prevalence increases exponentially with age, it is estimated that the number of patients with dementia may reach 65.7 million in 2030 and 115.4 million in 2050 [1]. Dementia is not as fatal as deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism in the short term, so it did not cause clinicians to pay enough attention, and it is
