Abstract
Objective: To assess the risk factors associated with mortality in elderly patients with proximal femoral fractures up to one year after the fracture.
Method: This was a prospective cohort study of patients aged 60 or older diagnosed with a proximal femoral fracture at a referral hospital in Belém, PA.
Results: 395 patients were assessed. The risk factors age≥83 years (p<0.0010), fracture-surgery time ≥ 3 days (p=0.0034), hemoglobin < 9g/dL (p<0.027), leukocytosis (p<0.00001) and pulmonary infection (p<0.0001) were statistically significant in mortality up to 12 months after the fracture.
Conclusion: It was observed that in the first year after fracture, gender, type of fracture and comorbidities were not determining factors in mortality. In this series, the mortality rate was 20.75% one year after the fracture, with pulmonary sepsis being the most frequent cause of death. Level of Evidence II; Cohort Study.
