Can the C-Reactive Protein to Albumin Ratio Predict Mortality Due to Hemiarthroplasty Performed After Hip Fracture in the Elderly Population

Abstract

Materials and Method: The records of 144 patients ages 65 years and older who underwent hemiarthroplasty for hip fractures between 2015 and 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients’ records included age, gender, fracture type, American Society of Anesthesiologists score, the time between fracture and surgery, the time between surgery and discharge, length of hospital stay, preexisting comorbidities, preoperative c-reactive protein and albumin levels, and mortality.
