A prospective study of 125 elderly patients (over 65 years) with proximal femoral fracture was carried out to compare pre-fracture sociomedical factors with the local and general complications following surgical treatment, in predicting mortality and length of stay. A poor pre-fracture mental state was more important than associated physical illness in predicting mortality. Pre-fracture mobility state was the most useful early prognostic predictor of length of hospitalization. Post-operative general complications were the most significant in predicting mortality and length of hospitalization, and more important than failure of operative technique.
对125例股骨近端骨折的老年患者(65岁以上)进行了一项前瞻性研究,以比较骨折前的社会医学因素与手术治疗后的局部和全身并发症,从而预测死亡率和住院时间。在预测死亡率方面,骨折前的精神状态不佳比相关的身体疾病更为重要。骨折前的活动状态是预测住院时间最有用的早期预后指标。术后全身并发症在预测死亡率和住院时间方面最为显著,且比手术技术失败更重要。
