What is Predictors of in-hospital mortality post hip fracture in Ireland 2013-2017 about?

Abstract Background Hip fractures are associated with considerable mortality, morbidity and healthcare expenditure. There are approximately 3,500 hip fractures in Ireland per annum with this figure set to increase considerably over the coming years due to the ageing population. Internationally, mortality following hip fracture is approximately 10% at 1 month and 30% at 1 year, with less than half of survivors regaining their preoperative level of function. The authors aimed to identify the determinants of in-hospital mortality post hip fracture in the Republic of Ireland 2013-2017, with specific reference to the Irish Hip Fracture Standards. Methods A secondary analysis of 15,603 patients in the Irish hip fracture database was conducted. Results 31% (n = 4,769) were male and 69% (n = 10,807) were female. Mean age for males was 75 years (SD 13.5) and 79 years for females (SD 10.5). The largest proportion of hip fractures occurred in the 80-89 age category, with 72.3% (n = 4,600) of these being female. Median in-hospital mortality was 4.7% (n = 711) (Range 2.7-6.2). Univariate logistic regression revealed 11 statistically significant predictors of in-hospital mortality; however, only
