Mortality in 159 patients who sustained 163 hip fractures in a single geriatric hospital and residential health facility in a ten-year period was studied. This study confirms the major problem of mortality associated with hip fractures in the very elderly. Factors that seemed associated with mortality were preoperative and postoperative ambulatory status and the overall medical condition of the patients, as evidenced by the higher percentage of patients in the hospital who died after sustaining hip fractures. The age of these elderly patients did not seem to affect the type of fracture or the final outcome significantly.
对一家老年医院和一家住宅保健机构在十年期间发生163例髋部骨折的159名患者的死亡率进行了研究。这项研究证实了高龄患者髋部骨折相关的主要死亡问题。与死亡率似乎相关的因素是术前和术后的行走状态以及患者的整体健康状况，髋部骨折后在医院死亡的患者比例较高就证明了这一点。这些老年患者的年龄似乎并未对骨折类型或最终结果产生显著影响。
