Patients who underwent surgery within 2 d of admission were assigned to the early surgery group, and those who underwent surgery after 2 d of admission were assigned to the delayed surgery group. The prognosis indices of the patients in the two groups were recorded and compared.Results: The length of postoperative hospitalisation in the early surgery group was significantly lower than that in the delayed surgery group (P < 0.001). The European quality of life questionnaire (EQ-5D) utility in the delayed surgery group was significantly lower than that in the early surgery group at 30 days and 6 months after operation (P< 0.05). Compared with the delayed surgery group, the incidence of pulmonary infection, urinary tract infection (UTI) and deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in the early surgery group were significantly lower. There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of mortality and excellent rates of the HHS at six months after the operation. In addition, the early surgery group had a lower readmission rate than the delayed surgery group [34 (9.5%) vs 56 (16.3%), P = 0.008].Conclusion: Earlier surgery can reduce the incidence of pulmonary infections, UTI, DVT and readmission rate among elderly patients with hip fractures, shorten postoperative hospitalisation.Keywords: Hip fracture, elderly patients, timing of surgery, prognosis |
