Article Synopsis
- The study examined how the timing of hip fracture surgery (time to surgery, TTS) affects the 30-day mortality rate in patients over 75 years old from the Spanish National Hip Fracture Registry.
- It found that surgery within 2 days led to better outcomes, including lower mortality (5.4%) compared to surgery after 2 days (7.5%) and that longer TTS was associated with complications like pressure ulcers and increased hospital stay.
- Overall, while there was a correlation between delayed surgery and higher mortality, the strength of this association was weak, indicating that other factors may also play a significant role in patient outcomes.
Introduction: Acute confusional syndrome (ACS) is a geriatric syndrome that manifests itself with changes in cognition, attention, underactive or hyperactive motor response, and fluctuation in the level of consciousness after trauma, hospitalisation or surgery. The objective is to know the risk factors and prevention of acute confusional syndrome in the elderly with hip fractures (HF) .
Methods: Prospective observational cohort study.
Hip fractures are an important socio-economic problem in western countries. Over the past 60 years orthogeriatric care has improved the management of older patients admitted to hospital after suffering hip fractures. Quality of care in orthogeriatric co-management units has increased, reducing adverse events during acute admission, length of stay, both in-hospital and mid-term mortality, as well as healthcare and social costs.

Objective: The Spanish National Hip Fracture Registry (Registro Nacional de Fracturas de Cadera or RNFC) is a Spanish, prospective, multi- centric registry, commenced in 2017. The goal of this paper is to present the data from the first annual report and to compare them with autonomic registries and recent prospective multi-centric studies performed in Spain.
Methods: We included persons 75 years or older treated for fragility hip fractures in any of the centers participating in the RNFC between January and October 2017.

Objective: The number of indications for total hip replacement (THR) and total knee replacement (TKR) surgery is increasing. Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) represents the next step in the evolution of standardised care. The primary aim of this study is to measure the in-hospital 30-day medical and surgical postoperative complications rate.
