Abstract:[Objective]: To investigate the survival and risk factors of death in elderly patients with intertrochanteric fracture of femur[Methods]A retrospective analysis was conducted on 172 elderly patients admitted to our hospital for concurrent surgical treatment from January 2016 to March 2023. General information, preoperative laboratory tests and surgical information were obtained through retrospective analysis of medical records. All of the above patients were treated with intramedullary needle fixation or artificial femoral head replacement. Univariate analysis, Cox proportional hazard regression model and K-M analysis were used to screen for risk factors associated with death.[Result] The follow-up time was 1-87 months, and the survival time was 6 months, 12 months and 24 months, respectively, with 27 deaths (15.70%), 53 deaths (30.81%) and 102 deaths (59.30%). The 6-month survival rate was 84.30% and the 12-month survival rate was 69.19%. The 24-month survival rate was only 40.70%. Univariate analysis showed that compared with the survival group, BMI in the death group was significantly lower, ASA grade was significantly higher, and preoperative Hb level was significantly lower. Results of Cox risk regression model showed that male, small BMI value, ASA grade IV, and A3 fracture were risk factors for death.[Conclusions] Postoperative mortality is higher in older patients with intertrochanteric fractures, especially at 24 months. Male, small BMI, ASA grade IV, and A3 fractures are risk factors for death. comorbidities are risk factors for death.
