Abstract:Introduction This study investigated whether the health-state of hip fracture patients or the time to surgery had a greater effect on outcomes. Methods Of the 5,120 patients admitted with a fragility hip fracture, 4,791 (93.6%) were included in the analysis. Patients operated after 36 hours were initially group by length of delay (36–48 hours and >48 hours) and then regrouped by delay cause (medical and administrative). Patients operated within 36 hours were the comparative group. Data were collected at admission, discharge, 120 days and 365 days post discharge. Results Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the patients who were delayed over 36 hours, owing to medical causes, had a higher mortality at all studied time points, but the patients who were delayed owing to administrative causes had no increase in mortality. Analysis by time to surgery revealed that patients operated after 36 and 48 hours had a higher mortality at discharge only. Medically delayed patients were less likely to return to their premorbid level of residence at discharge. Older, male patients had a higher risk of inferior outcomes. Postoperative length of stay was significantly greater in the >48-hour delay group and the medical delay group. All delay groups had a significantly higher rate of reoperation within 30 days compared with the no-delay group. Conclusions The health-state of the hip fracture patient had a greater impact on the outcome in contrast to time to surgery. This study concurs that hip fracture patients should receive surgery within the timeframe of current guidelines, but medically unwell patients have relatively worse outcomes and should receive enhanced clinical attention.
