Mortality of Patients Undergoing Fracture of the Upper Extremity u Femur at the University Hospital of Amiens
- Conditions
- Femur FractureMorality
- Registration Number
- NCT03117868
- Lead Sponsor
- Centre Hospitalier Universitaire, Amiens
- Brief Summary
Fractures of the upper femur (EFSF) represent a major public health problem in the elderly. Approximately 1.6 million patients are victims each year of an EFSF and this number is increasing as a result of the aging of the population.
In a recent Amiens retrospective study the mortality was estimated to be 22.5% at 1 year of the fracture. In surviving patients, the impact on loss of autonomy and degradation of quality of life is considerable.
The reduction of the incidence of post-operative complications includes the identification of risk factors.
No prospective study in Amiens has investigated the mortality and the study of the variables involved in the prognosis and long-term mortality of these patients.
