A mortalidade foi maior em mulheres, numa proporção 3:1. Anemia (p=0,000) e demência (p=0,041) estiveram significativamente associadas ao grupo óbito. Pacientes que permaneceram internados por até 15 dias e os que tiveram alta hospitalar em até sete dias após a cirurgia apresentaram um aumento na sobrevida.ConclusãoEm nossa amostra de pacientes com fratura de fêmur submetidos a procedimento cirúrgico, a taxa de mortalidade foi de 23,6%; as principais comorbidades associadas a esse desfecho foram anemia e demência.AbstractObjectiveTo analyze the mortality rate at one‐year follow‐up of patients with hip fracture who underwent surgery at the university hospital of this institution.MethodThe authors reviewed 213 medical records of hospitalized patients aged 65 years or older, following to the order they were admitted to the orthopedics and traumatology service from January 2012 to August 2013.ResultsOne‐year mortality rate was 23.6%.
