Abstract: |
We have characterised 997 hip fracture patients from a representative 45 Spanish hospitals, and followed them up prospectively for up to 4 months. Despite suboptimal surgical delays (average 59. 1 hours), in-hospital mortality was lower than in Northern European cohorts. The secondary fracture prevention gap is unacceptably high at 85%. To characterise inpatient care, complications, and 4-month mortality following a hip or proximal femur fracture in Spain. Design: prospective cohort study. Consecutive sample of patients ≥ 50 years old admitted in a representative 45 hospitals for a hip or proximal femur fragility fracture, from June 2014 to June 2016 and followed up for 4 months post-fracture. Patient characteristics, site of fracture, in-patient care (including secondary fracture prevention) and complications, and 4-month mortality are described. A total of 997 subjects (765 women) of mean (standard deviation) age 83. 6 (8. 4) years were included. Previous history of fracture/s (36. 9%) and falls (43%) were common, and 10-year FRAX-estimated major and hip fracture risks were 15. 2% (9. 0%) and 8. 5% (7. 6%) respectively. Inter-trochanteric (44. 6%) and displaced intra-capsular (28. 0%) were the most common fracture sites, and fixation with short intramedullary nail (38. 6%) with spinal anaesthesia (75. 5%) the most common procedures. Surgery and rehabilitation were initiated within a mean 59. 1 (56. 7) and 61. 9 (55. 1) hours respectively, and average length of stay was 11. 5 (9. 3) days. Antithrombotic and antibiotic prophylaxis were given to 99. 8% and 98. 2% respectively, whilst only 12. 4% received secondary fracture prevention at discharge. Common complications included delirium (36. 1 %) and kidney failure (14. 1%), with in-hospital and 4-month mortality of 2. 1% and 11% respectively. Despite suboptimal surgical delay, post-hip fracture mortality is low in Spanish hospitals. The secondary fracture prevention gap is unacceptably high at. |
