Preoperative lung ultrasound score and multifactorial predictors of 1-year mortality in geriatric hip fracture patients with pneumonia: a retrospective cohort study
Preoperative pneumonia severity independently predicts postoperative mortality in elderly hip fracture patients, yet accurate assessment remains challenging. This study evaluated lung ultrasound score (LUS) for predicting 1-year mortality and compared its predictive performance with traditional risk scores....
