Analysis of the Surgical Outcomes in Elderly Patients with Hip Fractures Combined with Hemiplegia

© 2022 Wang et al..

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the surgical outcomes in elderly (age ≥65) patients with hip fractures combined with hemiplegia and compare them with the surgical outcomes in elderly patients with hip fractures but no hemiplegia.

Methods: A total of 761 elderly patients with hip fractures who were treated between January 2013 and December 2019 were enrolled in this study using a retrospective study design. The patients were divided into two groups: a hemiplegia group (77 cases, 10.1%) and a non-hemiplegia group (684 cases, 89.9%). Length of hospital stay, postoperative complications, 30-day and one-year mortalities, and one-year functional status were compared between the two groups.

Results: The average length of hospital stay in the hemiplegia group (13.51 ± 10.17 days) was longer than in the non-hemiplegia group (12.60 ± 7.83 days), but the difference was not statistically significant (P = 0.354). The incidence of postoperative complications in patients with hemiplegia (28.6%, 22/77) was higher than in patients without hemiplegia (15.4%, 105/684), and the difference was statistically significant (P = 0.003). The 30-day and one-year mortalities in the hemiplegia group were higher than in the non-hemiplegia group (30 days after surgery: 10.4%, 8/77 vs 4.5%, 31/684; one year after surgery: 29.9%, 23/77 vs 15.2%, 104/684), and the difference was statistically significant (30 days after surgery: P = 0.027; one year after surgery: P = 0.001). One year after surgery, the average activity of daily living score was 56.02 ± 9.63 in the hemiplegia group and 76.89 ± 8.40 in the non-hemiplegia group, and the difference was statistically significant (P = 0.000).

Conclusion: Hemiplegia can increase the incidence of postoperative complications and 30-day and one-year mortalities in patients with hip fractures.
