This study aims to describe primary hip fracture surgeries and to identify patient-related and perioperative risk factors affecting outcomes. It will utilize data from the Swedish Perioperative Registry (SPOR) and the Swedish National Patient Register to track epidemiological changes, treatment outcomes, and perioperative factors.
Hip fractures, a significant health concern among the elderly, necessitate hospitalization and surgical intervention, with high mortality and morbidity rates within the first year post-surgery. The study will retrospectively analyze records of approximately 90,000 patients over 18 who underwent hip fracture surgery between 2018 and 2022. Key factors such as age, sex, preoperative health status, and perioperative care methods will be evaluated to determine their impact on complications, reoperation rates, and survival. This research could inform future clinical practices and policies, aiming to optimize the treatment and management of elderly patients with hip fractures.

This study examines outcomes following standard primary hip fracture surgery by analyzing retrospective data from national health registries. The focus is on identifying perioperative and patient-related risk factors that influence outcomes such as reoperation rates, mortality, and secondary fractures within one year of surgery. No experimental or new intervention is introduced in this study.
