Validation of the Nottingham Hip Fracture Score (NHFS) to predict 30-day mortality following hip fracture in a Mexican population.

Introduction: Hip fractures in the elderly pose a significant clinical challenge, with high short-term mortality rates. The Nottingham Hip Fracture Score (NHFS) has proven useful in predicting 30-day mortality in European and Asian populations, but its validity in the Mexican population has not been widely assessed.

General Objective: To validate the NHFS in predicting 30-day mortality following hip fracture in a Mexican population.

[Thickness of the rectus femorius muscle and vastus intermedium muscle in older Mexican adults with frailty and sarcopenia].

Background And Objective: Frailty in older adults is a geriatric syndrome that has gained importance in the last decade. However, there is still no consolidated information regarding diagnostic tools that allow timely identification, and therefore, provide an appropriate therapeutic approach. The objective is to determine the Thickness of the Rectus Femoris Muscle (GMRF) and Thickness of the Vastus Intermedius Muscle (GMVI) in older Mexican adults with frailty and sarcopenia.

First year report of the IMSS Multicenter Hip Fracture Registry.

Unlabelled: The population has aged; there is a greater risk of osteoporosis and hip fracture. We describe the standards of care for hip fractures in various hospitals of Mexico. A total of 1042 subjects participated.
