Abstract
The incidence of established mortality predictors that link patients with hip fracture older than 60 years with an increase in mortality, who underwent surgery at the General Hospital "Abel Santamaría Cuadrado" from 2020 to 2022, was determined. A descriptive, prospective and longitudinal study was carried out from clinical records, data collected through the Report Information System - FCA used in the National Hip Program, from outpatient follow-up, from reports from the statistics department of the General Hospital Abel Santamaría Cuadrado and the Provincial Health Directorate. With a universe of 764 patients of which 512 entered the study, of this 68% of the sample was represented by the female sex, where the most representative age group were patients from 80 to 89 years old, which constituted 41% of the sample. The most represented comorbidities were Arterial Hypertension (88%) and Diabetes Mellitus (54%); 74% of patients underwent surgery within 24 hours and 72% were independent before surgery. The age group was 80 to 89 years, with a predominance of females, with a wide range of comorbidities, including high blood pressure and diabetes mellitus. There was a close relationship between age and mortality. Validity and family support influenced the evolution, related to the appearance of complications such as infections, thromboembolism, among others. Evidencing concatenation between some of the predictors in elderly patients operated on.
