ABSTRACT

Objective: In this study our main goal is to evaluate the factors which is affecting postoperative mortality of patients with displaced femoral neck fracture. Method: This prospective cross-sectional study was carried out at Tertiary medical College Hospital, Bangladesh. Where data were collected from July 2019 to June 2020. A total of 50 patients who hospitalized for intracapsular, displaced fracture of the femoral neck considered for the study population. Sample were collected through purposive sampling as per inclusion criteria. Results: During the study, most of the patients belong to >40 years age group, 53.30%. Transfusion with more than two SAGMs 9%, deep infection 4%, cardiac arrhythmia 3%, cardiac arrest and wound infection 2.5% were common complication which was directly related to surgery. 18.1% had pneumonia followed by 13% had UTI, 01.6% had confusion, 9.2% had heart failure, 6% had stress ulcer,5.1% had cardiac arrhythmia. Conclusion: The present study confirms that fractures are a part of the aging process, because of heart problems and dementia disorders which are typically linked with a general ageing process and are two major reasons that adverse impacts on survival. Further analysis is needed in order to ascertain the exact relative contribution of the hip fracture case to the underlying co-morbidity.
