<scp>FPG</scp> Score: A Rapid Admission‐Based Tool for Predicting In‐Hospital Mortality in Elderly Hip Fracture Patients
The FPG score provides a rapid, objective, and clinically applicable tool for mortality risk assessment in elderly patients with hip fractures, allowing for immediate triage-based decision-making. Unlike NHFS and CCI, it does not require laboratory or post-admission data, making it particularly useful in emergency settings. Its integration into clinical practice may enhance patient management, improve resource allocation, and facilitate early intervention. While the score has been validated in a single-center study, further multicenter validation is needed to confirm its broader applicability. Future research should explore the integration of frailty indices and laboratory markers to refine its predictive accuracy.
