The aim of this work is to analyse preoperative and postoperative factors potentially related to early 30-day mortality in patients over 65 undergoing hip fracture surgery.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec002\">\n<jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Prospective cohort study including all consecutive primary hip fracture patients over 65 admitted to Trauma and Orthopaedics department from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2019. Bed-ridden, non- surgically treated patients, and high energy trauma or tumoral aetiology fractures were excluded. A total of 943 patients were eligible (attrition rate: 2.1%). Follow-up included 30-days after discharge. We noted the 30-day mortality after hip fracture surgery, analysing 130 potentially related variables including biodemographic, fracture-related, preoperative, and postoperative clinical factors. Qualitative variables were assessed by \u03c7<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>, and quantitative variables by non-parametric tests. Odds ratio determined by binary logistic regression. We selected preventable candidate variables for multivariate risk assessment by logistic regression.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec003\">\n<jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>A total of 923 patients were enrolled (mean age 86.22\u00b16.8, 72.9% women). The 30-day mortality rate was 6.0%. We noted significant increased mortality on men (OR = 2.381[1.371\u20134.136], p = 0.002), ageing patients (OR<jats:sub>year<\/jats:sub> = 1.073[1.025\u20131.122], p = 0.002), and longer time to surgery (OR<jats:sub>day<\/jats:sub> = 1.183[1.039\u20131146], p&lt;0.001), on other 20 preoperative clinical variables, like lymphopenia (lymphocyte count &lt;10<jats:sup>3<\/jats:sup>\/\u03bcl, OR = 1.842[1.063\u20133.191], p = 0.029), hypoalbuminemia (\u22643.5g\/dl, OR = 2.474[1.316\u20134.643], p = 0.005), and oral anticoagulant intake (OR = 2.499[1.415\u20134.415], p = 0.002), and on 25 postoperative clinical variables, like arrhythmia (OR = 13.937[6.263\u201331.017], p&lt;0.001), respiratory insufficiency (OR = 7.002[3.947\u201312.419], p&lt;0.001), hyperkalaemia (OR = 10.378[3.909\u201327.555], p&lt;0.001), nutritional supply requirement (OR = 3.576[1.894\u20136.752], p = 0.021), or early arthroplasty dislocation (OR = 6.557[1.206\u201335.640], p = 0.029). We developed a predictive model for early mortality after hip fracture surgery based on postoperative factors with 96.0% sensitivity and 60.7% specificity (AUC = 0.863).<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec004\">\n<jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>We revealed that not only preoperative, but also postoperative factors have a great impact after hip fracture surgery. The influence of post-operative factors on 30-day mortality has a logical basis, albeit so far they have not been identified or quantified before. Our results provide an advantageous picture of the 30-day mortality after hip fracture surgery.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0246963","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,16]],"date-time":"2021-02-16T20:59:59Z","timestamp":1613509199000},"page":"e0246963","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":69,"title":["30-day mortality after hip fracture surgery: Influence of postoperative factors"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Juan F.","family":"Blanco","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2290-126X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Carmen","family":"da Casa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carmen","family":"Pablos-Hern\u00e1ndez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alfonso","family":"Gonz\u00e1lez-Ram\u00edrez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jos\u00e9 Miguel","family":"Juli\u00e1n-Enr\u00edquez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Agust\u00edn","family":"D\u00edaz-\u00c1lvarez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"340","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"pone.0246963.ref001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"66","DOI":"10.1093\/ageing\/afv155","article-title":"Can improved quality of care explain the success of orthogeriatric units?
