What this Trial Is About
Researchers are establishing a data repository to improve understanding of postoperative mortality outcomes in geriatric patients with orthopedic injuries. This study focuses on patients aged 60 and older who have suffered hip fractures and aims to compare the Orthopedic Hip Frailty Score with preoperative cardiac clearance predictors. The goal is to better predict short-term postoperative mortality and enhance patient care and resource allocation. The study collects medical and phenotype data from the Methodist Dallas Medical Center Trauma Registry. This includes demographic information, diagnosis codes, injury details, surgical procedures, comorbidities, inpatient outcomes, complications, consultations, discharge locations, and mortality records. The data collection spans five years, from January 2018 through December 2023, involving all eligible geriatric trauma patients with operative orthopedic injuries. Participants are observed through existing medical records without additional interventions. Researchers will analyze various patient information to assess mortality risks and outcomes after surgery. The primary measure is the total number and description of study sites and subjects over the five-year period. This observational study allows for ongoing monitoring of patient health outcomes during and after hospital stays, with participation determined by registry inclusion and surgical treatment.
