Comparison of clinical characteristics and outcomes among different age groups in elderly patients with hip fracture surgery
The majority of elderly patients undergoing hip fracture surgery were female, with falls being the predominant cause of injury. Increasing age was correlated with poorer preoperative mobility, a lower prevalence of three or more comorbidities, and a higher likelihood of receiving spinal anesthesia. Lastly, the probability of ICU admission, complications, and mortality rate increased after surgery.
