Abstract

Introduction

Several studies have shown that patients over 65 years have a higher mortality with covid. Combine with inherently increased morbidity and mortality in neck of femur (NoFF) fractures, it is logical to think that this subset would be most at risk.

Aims

Investigate whether there is actual increase in direct mortality from Covid infection in NoFF patients, also investigate other contributing factors to mortality with covid positivity and compare the findings with current available literature.
