Characteristics and Outcomes of Hip Fracture Patients Hospitalized in an Orthogeriatric Unit Versus an Orthopedic Department: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

Introduction: Hip fractures are a significant health risk in older adults and a major cause of morbidity, functional decline and mortality. Our aim was to compare clinical outcomes of older patients hospitalized in an ortho-geriatric (OG) unit to those hospitalized in an orthopedic department (OD) for surgical treatment of a hip fracture.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study of hip fractured patients hospitalized between 2015-2016 in a single tertiary university-affiliated medical center.

[ANEMIA IN PATIENTS AFTER HIP FRACTURE REPAIR SURGERY].

Hip fractures (HF) are common among the elderly. The prevalence increases with age and occurs more frequently among females. Up to 30% mortality rates have been observed during the first year following HF, with or without surgery.

[EVALUATION OF THE ELDERLY PATIENT WITH CANCER].

In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the number of adult patients with malignant diseases. These patients are a major therapeutic challenge due to a high incidence of comorbidities, lower functional status and often a diagnosis of the disease at a relatively advanced stage. The preferred approach to the treatment of cancer is a multidisciplinary approach.
