Abstract

Background: In spite of technical advances, hip fracture causes high mortality in the elderly. We wanted to know early surgery influence to mortality during admission, one year and after five years, as well as readmissions at one month and one year. We also wanted to know how dependence and Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) evolved in the twelve months of follow-up and what factors were associated with poor patient evolution.
Methods: A prospective observational study was made in patients over 65 years of age treated for osteoporotic hip fracture in a level III hospital between 2010- 2012, with consecutive sampling. We evaluated functionality (Barthel) and quality of life (EuroQol-5D) basal (before fracture), within 30 days, within six and twelve months; readmissions within the 30 days and within one year; and mortality during admission; within one and five years. We used the statistical program SPSS Version 25.0 for the statistical analysis.
Results: We followed 327 patients of 82.9 (SD: 6.9) years of means, 258 (78.9%) were women. Fifty-four (45.9%) were treated within 24 hours and 237 (72.5%) within 48 hours. They returned 14 (4.3%) within the 30 days and 44 (13.5%) within the one year. There were 8 deaths during admission (2.4%) and 61 (19.2%) in the first year and 185 (54,6%) within five years. The pre-fracture quality of life was 0.43 median (0.24-0.74), at the month 0.15 (0.07-0.28), at six months 0.26 (0, 13-0.59) and at twelve 0.24 (0.15-0.58). The previous functionality was 85.0 (55.0-100) at the month 35.0 (20.0-60.0) and 60.0 (25.0-85.0) at six and twelve months. There were significant differences between all visits except between six and twelve months.
Conclusions: The patients get worse significantly at the month of surgery and recover in the six months, remaining at twelve, without reaching the baseline value. The results in mortality and readmissions per year are worse for men and older. Early surgery does not reduce mortality, but re-admissions to the year.
