[10-YEAR MORTALITY IN PATIENTS AFTER HIP FRACTURES].

The aim is to study the indexes of short- and long-term mortality in patients after hip fractures (HF). In a retrospective study, the data of 146 women and 82 men with HF aged 50 years and older (mean age (Me [25Q-75Q]): 74.5 [64.7-80.8] years old) hospitalized in 2005-2007 were analyzed. Life outcome data were collected three times (in 2015, 2016 and 2017) by the researcher by telephone contact with patients or their relatives. The analysis was carried out depending on age, gender, type of fracture, the presence of concomitant diseases. The average follow-up period was 121.3 [30.6-143.9] months (143.4 [133.4-150.0] months for surviving patients and 49.4 [10.2-120.3] months for deceased). Women accounted for 64 % of all subjects with HF and were significantly older than men. The average age at the time of death for the deceased (81.2 [72.2-85.1] years) was significantly higher in women (82.0 [72.9-86.8]) compared with men (76, 8 [66.3-84.8] years; Z=2.0; p=0.04), although it did not differ from the indexes of survivors at the end of the study (79.2 [72.8-89.4] years). Hospital mortality rates were 1.3%, 6-month, 1-, 5- and 10-year mortality, respectively - 11.8%, 18.4%, 36.8 \% and 48.2%. Mortality rate was higher in men only in the age group of 80-89 years, while there were no significant differences in mortality depending on the type of fracture. Survival rates did not differ depending on gender, type of fracture, and were significantly higher (p=0.004) in the patients older than 70 years compared with younger patients.
