Overview
This study aims to describe primary hip fracture surgeries and to identify patient-related and perioperative risk factors affecting outcomes. It will utilize data from the Swedish Perioperative Registry (SPOR) and the Swedish National Patient Register to track epidemiological changes, treatment outcomes, and perioperative factors.
Detailed description
Hip fractures, a significant health concern among the elderly, necessitate hospitalization and surgical intervention, with high mortality and morbidity rates within the first year post-surgery. The study will retrospectively analyze records of approximately 90,000 patients over 18 who underwent hip fracture surgery between 2018 and 2022. Key factors such as age, sex, preoperative health status, and perioperative care methods will be evaluated to determine their impact on complications, reoperation rates, and survival.
This research could inform future clinical practices and policies, aiming to optimize the treatment and management of elderly patients with hip fractures.
Interventions
- Other "Observational Analysis of Primary Hip Fracture Surgery Outcomes"
This study examines outcomes following standard primary hip fracture surgery by analyzing retrospective data from national health registries. The focus is on identifying perioperative and patient-related risk factors that influence outcomes such as reoperation rates, mortality, and secondary fractures within one year of surgery. No experimental or new intervention is introduced in this study.
Primary outcome measures
- Rate of reoperation and secondary fractures. [Time frame: One year post-surgery]
Secondary outcome measures (1)
- Mortality rate, hospitalization duration, and time to surgery [Time frame: One year post-surgery]
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion criteria
\- Patients aged 18+ with hip fractures, identified through ICD code S72\*, who underwent surgery during the study period.
Exclusion criteria
- Patients without a Swedish personal identification number, as this is necessary to link data across registers.
Criteria are shown verbatim from the registry (in English). Final eligibility is always assessed by the study center.
