Lower estimated glomerular filtration rate at admission is associated with a worse outcome in older patients with hip fracture who undergo surgical treatment.

Background: We assessed the relationship of estimated glomerular filtration rate values at hospital admission on the outcome of surgically treated older adults who had suffered a hip fracture.

Methods: Prospective study that included patients > 65 years of age, surgically treated for primary hip fracture, with no pathologic or high-energy trauma aetiology admitted to a tertiary teaching hospital between 2018 and 2019. We stratified patients based on their estimated glomerular filtration rate at admission and examined its association to demographic and clinical variables, including 90-day post-discharge mortality.

Effect of pharmacological treatment prior to admission on the outcome of older hip fracture patients.

Purpose: We aim to relate the pharmacological treatment at admission of hip fracture patients with their prognosis.

Methods: We designed a prospective study including 436 hip fracture patients. We classified all the pharmacological treatment prior to admission of each patient into 25 groups according to their active agent and indications.

Oldest old hip fracture patients: centenarians as the lowest complexity patients.

Background: Hip fracture leads to an increase in mortality and deterioration in the quality of life. The increase in life expectancy results in an increase in the number of oldest old patients.

Aims: To analyze the characteristics of centenarian hip fracture patients and compare them with younger hip fracture patients.
