Abstract:[Objective] To explore the risk factors of delirium after surgical treatment of hip fractures in the elderly. [Methods] A retro- spective study was conducted on 346 patients who received surgical treatments for hip fractures in our hospital from December 2016 to De- cember 2019. According to whether or not postoperative delirium happened , the patients were divided into two groups. The univariate com- parison and binary multiple logistic regression were done to search the risk factors related to the postoperative delirium. [Results] Of the 346 patients, 48 patients were definitively diagnosed of postoperative delirium, accounted for 13.87%, which occurred within 2~7 days after surgery. As results of the univariate analysis and logistic regression, the advanced age (OR=2.329, P=0.024) , low education level (OR= 1.957, P=0.036) , stroke history (OR=3.007, P=0.001) , living alone (OR=1.933, P=0.037) , history of sleep disturbance (OR=2.789, P= 0.005) , preoperative bed time (OR=2.056, P=0.026) , general anesthesia (OR=2.196, P=0.013) , longer anesthesia time (OR=2.229, P= 0.013) , ICU stay (OR=2.352, P=0.008) were independent risk factors of postoperative delirium. [Conclusion] Postoperative delirium is a common complication after surgical treatment for hip fractures in the elderly, which does affect the prognosis. Advanced age, low education level, living alone, stroke history, sleep disturbance history, long bed time before surgery, general anesthesia, long anesthesia and ICU stay are the main risk factors, clinicians must pay more attention to them.
