Impact of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease on Mortality Rates After Hip Pertrochanteric Fracture: A Nationwide Population-Based Cohort Study
COPD is an independent predictor of increased 1-year mortality after pertrochanteric fracture. The observed reduction in contralateral fracture risk likely reflects the competing risk of early mortality. These findings suggest that elderly patients with COPD should pay more attention in post-hip fracture management with personalized rehabilitation strategies.
