Abstract:[Objective] To explore the survival and risk factors of death after femoral head replacement for femoral intertrochanteric fracture in elderly. [Methods] A retrospective study was done on 131 elderly patients who underwent femoral head replacement for femoral intertrochanteric fractures in our hospital from January 2015 to October 2019. As survival outcomes were obtained by follow-up, univariate comparison and Cox proportional hazard regression were performed to search the risk factors for death. [Results] Of them, 8 patients died one year after operation accounting for 6.11% with the 1-year survival rate of 93.89%, while a total of 22 cases died in 2 years, accounting for 16.79%, with 2-year survival rate of 83.21%. Compared with the non-death group, the death group was significant older, had significant- ly lower BMI, preoperative hemoglobin (Hb) , higher ratio of 2 or more preoperative comorbidities, longer operation time and time to resume walking postoperatively and lower Harris score 3 months postoperatively, which all proved statistically significant (P<0.05) . As results of Cox proportional hazard regression, the advanced age was a risk factor for death (HR=1.117, P=0.001) . [Conclusion] The risk of death is higher after femoral head replacement for femoral intertrochanteric fractures in the elderly, especially for those with advanced age and multi- ple comorbidities preoperatively, which should be paid attention to.
