For elderly hip fracture patients, instead of a hasty operation, it's wiser to fix general conditions quickly and then operate them.

Abstract

Objective: Hip Fracture is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in the elderly patients. There are lots of studies about prognostic factors affecting mortality and morbidity. One of these factors is the effect of preoperative waiting period on mortality. Our goal is to investigate the effect of timing of surgery, patient's age, comorbid diseases and ASA score on mortality in the scope of the current literature.Material and Method: 136 patients over 55 years old with a diagnosis of intertrochanteric hip fracture for the first time, whose fractures were fixed between 2012-2013 with proximal femoral nail under spinal anesthesia were included in the study.The effect on mortality of parameters like age of the patient, comorbid diseases, ASA score, timing of surgery were examined .Results: Logistic regression analysis of variables like patients' age, timing of surgery, ASA scores and the presence of comorbid diseases were done in order to demonstrate their effect on mortality. Patients age (p=0.005), ASA score of 3 or more (p=0.041) and the presence of comorbid diseases (p=0.033) were found to be effective factors on one year mortality. There is no effect of timing of surgery alone on one year mortality (p=0.143).Conclusion: Early surgery does not influence 1 year mortality rate. For elderly hip fracture patients, instead of a hasty operation, it's wiser to fix general conditions quickly and then operate them.

Özet

Amaç: Kalça kırıkları yaşlı hastalarda ciddi bir morbidite ve mortalite nedenidir. Mortalite ve morbiditeyi etkileyen prognostik faktörler ile ilgili birçok çalışma vardır. Bu faktörlerden bir tanesi de ameliyat öncesi bekleme süresinin mortaliteye etkisidir. Amacımız ameliyat öncesi bekleme süresinin, hastanın yaşının, komorbid hastalıklarının ve ASA skorunun mortaliteye etkisinin güncel literatür ışığında araştırılmasıdır.Gereç ve Yöntemler: 2012-2013 yılları arasında kliniğimizde 55 yaş ve üzeri minor travma sonrası yaşamında ilk defa izole intertrokanterik femur kırığı tanısı alan ve tedavi olarak spinal anestezi altında proksimal femoral çivi ile osteosentez yapılmış 136 olgu çalışmaya dahil edildi. Hastaların yaşları, komorbid hastalık varlığı, ASA skorları, ameliyat öncesi bekleme süreleri incelenerek bu paramatrelerin mortalite üzerine etkisine bakıldı.Bulgular: Mortalite üzerine etkili faktörleri belirlemek için kırık yaşı, ameliyat öncesi bekleme süresi, ASA skoru, komorbid hastalık varlığı değişkenleri ile logistik regresyon analizi yapıldı. Kırık yaşı (p=0,005), ASA skorunun 3 ve üzeri olması (p=0,041) ve komorbid hastalık varlığı (p=0,033) ilk 1 yıl içerisindeki mortalite üzerine etkili faktörler olarak tespit edildi. Ameliyat öncesi bekleme süresinin tek başına ilk 1 yıl içindeki mortaliteye etkisi bulunmadı (p=0,143).Sonuç: Erken cerrahi ilk 1 yıl içindeki mortalite oranlarında azalmaya neden olmamaktadır. Yaşlı kalça kırığı hastalarında aceleci bir cerrahi yapmaktansa hızlı bir şekilde genel durumları düzeltilip ameliyat edilmesi daha akıllıcadır.
