Introduction: Hip fracture in the elderly is the most common cause of hospitalization in the trauma department, causing repercussion in several clinical areas, affecting its independence. Objective: To determine the prognostic factors of poor evolution in the study population. Methods: Ambispective,correlational and non-experimental study was designed. The population consisted of all patients over 65 years of age who underwent surgery for hip fracture between January 2014 and July 2015 at the Central Hospital of the Pruvian Air Force (F.A.P). The magnitude of the association was quantified using the oddsratio, and a multivariate analysis was performed on the significant variables and a 6-month follow-up was performed. Results: The variables identified with a strong association with poor evolution were: age greater than 75 years (OR = 3,750 CI: 1,275-11,026 p = 0,016), high comorbidi...

La fractura de cadera en ancianos es la causa más común de hospitalización en el servicio de traumatología, ocasionando repercusión en distintas áreas clínicas afectando su independencia y estilo de vida. Objetivo: Determinar los factores pronósticos de mala evolución, en la población de estudio. Metodología: Se diseñó un estudio observacional descriptivo con análisis de asociación. La población estuvo constituida por todos los pacientes mayores de 65 años post operados de fractura de cadera durante Enero – Diciembre 2014 del Hospital Central de la FAP. Con un análisis univariado de las variables, se cuantificó la magnitud de asociación utilizando el odds ratio, y se hizo un análisis multivariado las variables significativas. Resultados: Se identificó a la edad mayor de 75 años (OR 7,313), el estar institucionalizado (OR: 4,655), la alta comorbilidad (OR: 4,156) ...
