Abstract
Introduction: #Osteoporotichipfractures are important health
problems in #geriatricpatients. The #mortality rate can reach 10% during
admission in hospital and 30% after 12 months. A meta-analysis of 35
independent studies described greater survival among patients who
underwent early surgery. Nevertheless, controversy remains about the
acceptable waiting time for surgery. The objective of this study is to
describe the new knowledge on the relationship between surgical delay
and mortality.
Methods: The present review was carried out by conducting an
electronic search in OVID (Medline and Embase) on #hipfracture,
mortality
and surgical delay. The search was limited to publications in the last 5
years and in English and Spanish. A total of 73 articles were obtained,
of
which 14 were finally selected.
