Abstract
⺠We investigated predictable factors of mortality and morbidity of the first hip fracture surgery in elderly patients. ⺠Advanced age, cancer, a prior fracture history, and a solitary life were associated with mortality. ⺠A fall within 1 year of surgery and a solitary life were associated with second fracture. ⺠Malignancy and cognitive impairment were associated with functional recovery.
