What the research found
BackgroundWe aimed to evaluate the incidence of preoperative frailty and postoperative delirium (POD) and the association of preoperative frailty, POD with one-year mortality in older patients undergoing hip fracture surgery.MethodsPatients with hip fracture were identified from 2018 to 2023 in our hospital. The patients were categorized into four groups: patients without preoperative frailty who did not suffer from
Evidence level: Human study. A study in people, but an association isn't proof of cause.
