Abstract:
Aim: To identify the relationship between ferritin and outcomes for patients with hip fractures. Patients & methods: All patients with hip fractures presenting between May 2017 and January 2021 were included. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to determine the risk factors for 1-year survival. Propensity score matching (PSM) was performed for groups divided by ferritin levels. Results: A total of 165 patients were included of whom 28 died during the first year after surgery. Ferritin levels differed significantly between groups divided by 1-year survival. High ferritin (≥308.5 ng/ml) was related to poor 1-year survival and 6-month and 1-year independent walking rate. Conclusion: High ferritin (≥308.5 ng/ml) may predict poor survival and free-walking abilities after surgery for patients with hip fractures.
