Resumen:
PURPOSE: The aim of this study is to evaluate the O-POSSUM score
capacity to predict the morbidity and mortality of patients undergoing
hip fracture surgery.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the clinical records
of patients older than 65years old, operated on for hip fractures
between January 2012 and December 2013. Of 229 patients, the mean age
was 82.3years and 170 were women. We collected comorbidities, type of
surgery, and expected morbidity and mortality O-POSSUM values.
RESULTS: After a minimum follow up of one year, 38 deaths were reported
and 77 patients had complications. The expected mortality according to
the O-POSSUM was 35 patients and expected morbidity 132.
CONCLUSION: By comparing the observed results with those predicted, the
O-POSSUM scale is reliable in predicting mortality and overestimates
morbidity.
