Article Synopsis
- Fragility hip fractures are common and can have serious consequences, yet there is limited data, especially from African and Middle Eastern countries; this study focuses on mortality rates in Egypt.
- In a study of 301 patients over 65, in-hospital mortality was found to be 8.3%, but this rose significantly to 52.8% within a year, with most deaths occurring within the first three months post-fracture.
- Factors contributing to one-year mortality include older age, certain medical conditions (like cardiac or liver issues), type of fracture, duration of hospital stay, and postoperative complications, suggesting a need for better post-discharge care to improve outcomes.
