To compare the impact of ASAP protocol (geriatric advice, early surgery, loco-regional anesthesia and pharmacological adaptation) on elderly patients with hip fracture and clinical outcome.
Retrospective double cohort analysis for ASA physical status 1, 2 and 3 elderly patients \>65 years old, scheduled to undergo surgery for hip fracture between January 1st 2017 and December 31st 2022. The investigator want to confirm the better outcome on 30-days mortality after surgery in patients where the ASAP protocol was applied, starting from 1 January 2020. ASAP protocol follow the latest international guidelines about hip fracture in elderly patient. The investigator focuses the research about the impact of ASAP protocol on clinical outcome: geriatrician's advice, impact of loco-regional techniques on intra-operative and postoperative pain control, chronic pharmacological therapy's adaptation and 30-days postoperative mortality.
