The aim of this study was to assess the association of mortality and reoperation when comparing cemented and uncemented hemiarthroplasty (HA) in hip fracture patients aged over 65 years. This was a population-based cohort study on hip fracture patients using prospectively gathered data from several national registries in Denmark from 2004 to 2015 with up to five years follow-up. The primary outcome was mortality and the secondary outcome was reoperation. Hazard ratios (HRs) for mortality and subdistributional hazard ratios (sHRs) for reoperations are shown with 95% confidence intervals (CIs).Aims
Methods
We examined risk of developing acute renal failure and the associated
mortality among patients aged >
65 years undergoing surgery for
a fracture of the hip. We used medical databases to identify patients who underwent
surgical treatment for a fracture of the hip in Northern Denmark
between 2005 and 2011. Acute renal failure was classified as stage
1, 2 and 3 according to the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcome
criteria. We computed the risk of developing acute renal failure
within five days after surgery with death as a competing risk, and
the short-term (six to 30 days post-operatively) and long-term mortality
(31 days to 365 days post-operatively). We calculated adjusted hazard
ratios (HRs) for death with 95% confidence intervals (CIs).Aims
