Mortality following hip fracture surgery in patients with dementia: a Swedish multiple national register study
Our findings revealed an association between dementia diagnosis and higher risk of mortality following hip fracture surgery. These findings underscore the need for specialized post-operative care. Involving specific post-operative geriatric competence, such as orthogeriatric or orthogeriatric models of care could potentially improve outcomes. Further research is needed to explore the impact of dementia severity and subtype on mortality.
