Article Synopsis
- Spain is projected to have the highest life expectancy, highlighting the importance of improving care for hip fractures, which are common in older adults.
- A systematic review of 55,680 hip fracture cases over the last decade revealed that 75% of patients were women, with a 64.7-hour average surgical delay and high rates of postoperative complications like delirium.
- Recommendations suggest that less than half of hip fracture patients receive timely surgery, indicating a need for standardized management practices to enhance healthcare quality and improve outcomes.
