The mortality rate after thromboembolism prophylaxis in the hip fracture surgery.

Background: Although hip fracture surgery treatments have been improved, the mortality rate remains high because of a high risk of complications, such as myocardial infarction and venous thromboembolism. Many studies have identified the benefit of thromboembolism prophylaxis.

Objective: To determine the 1-year mortality rate of thromboembolism prophylaxis and non-prophylaxis after the hip fracture surgery.
