From the Department of Geriatrics (Zhang, Li, Yuan, Li, Liu, Fan), and from Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology (Yang, Wu), Beijing Jishuitan Hospital, Beijing, China.
Objectives: To investigate the risk factors of perioperative in-hospital death in elderly patients with hip fracture and the applicability of risk assessment tools.
Methods: Thirteen in-hospital death cases from 1878 geriatric hip fracture treated in Jishuitan Hospital, China from May 2015 to December 2017 were collected, each dead patient was compared with 4 normal discharged patients with a postoperative survival of more than 90 days at the same admission time (within 2 weeks), gender, age (±5 years), and fracture type. Binary logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors of in-hospital death; Hosmer-lemeshow goodness of fit test was used to evaluate the goodness of fit of E-PASS (estimation of physical ability and surgical stress) and NHFS (Nottingham hip fracture score).
