Evaluación de las complicaciones clínicas de los pacientes con fractura de cadera y sus factores asociados en una Unidad de Agudos de Ortogeriatría

Delirium, renal failure, and cardiac complications were the most frequent complications according the new recommendations. An ASA III-IV score, worse functional status at discharge, prolonged pre-operative period, and increased length of stay, were risk factors associated with clinical complications. Cardiac, pulmonary, and gastrointestinal complications were the main causes of mortality in the unit.
