TL;DR

Although cognitive impairment is a key risk factor, accurately assessing baseline cognition in acute settings remains challenging, Informant‐based tools may better reflect premorbid cognitive status; however, their utility in hip fracture populations is unclear.

Abstract

Postoperative delirium (POD) is a common complication in older adults after hip fracture surgery. Although cognitive impairment is a key risk factor, accurately assessing baseline cognition in acute settings remains challenging. Informant‐based tools may better reflect premorbid cognitive status; however, their utility in hip fracture populations is unclear.

Association Between Preoperative Frailty and Postoperative Acute Kidney Injury, Complications, and Resource Utilization in Older Patients Undergoing Hip Fracture Surgery

Hip fractures are a major public health burden in older adults. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is among the most frequent complications following hip fracture surgery and is associated with poor clinical outcomes. We investigated the relationship between preoperative frailty and postoperative complications, including AKI, u...
