Abstract:

Objective

To identify risk factors affecting one-year postoperative mortality in patients aged 80 years and older with femoral neck fractures.

Methods

This study used a retrospective case-control study on the patients who underwent surgical treatment for femoral neck fractures in our hospital from January 2019 to December 2023.Inclusion criteria: patients age ≥80 years old; femoral neck fracture; no obvious surgical contraindications; independent ambulation or ambulation with assistive devices before injury; good compliance.Exclusion criteria: pathological fractures; high-energy trauma; patients with old fractures (time from injury to surgery longer than three weeks); incomplete clinical data.Baseline characteristics, medical history,and prior medication use were studied.Relevant clinical parameters, including the Charlson comorbidity index,American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) grading, Barthel index, and functional activity questionnaire (FAQ)score were analyzed.Clinical data and comorbidities were recorded during follow-up.The survival rate was evaluated using the Kaplan-Meier method.Variables influencing survival were assessed by Cox regression model.Hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for each factor were calculated.

Results

According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 152 patients were included in this study, with 31 in the death group.The 1-year postoperative mortality rate was 20.4%, and the median survival period was 10.1 (9.2, 10.5)months.There were statistically significant differences in age (t=3.778, P<0.001), FAQ score (Z=-4.377,P<0.05), Barthel index (t=15.240, P<0.001), preoperative use of anticoagulants (χ2=4.977, P<0.05), and international normalized ratio INR (t=11.621, P<0.001) between the two groups.There was no statistically significant difference in other indicators such as ASA grading (χ²=1.127, P=0.277) between the two groups.Cox regression analysis showed that age ≥87 years [HR=3.5, 95% CI=(1.9,7.9), P<0.001], Barthel index<85 points [HR=4.0, 95% CI (1.3,12.7), P<0.05], and pre admission use of anticoagulant drugs with INR≥1.5 [HR=3.7, 95% CI (2.1,7.7), P<0.05] were statistically significant predictors of first-year mortality after surgery.

Conclusions

For patients aged 80 years or older undergoing surgery for femoral neck fractures, the predictive factors for death in the first year after surgery were age ≥87 years, Barthel index score ≤85, and taking anticoagulants with an INR ≥1.5 before admission.
