Objective: to analyze the factors that interfere in the hospitalization outcome of elderly with
femur fracture.
Method: exploratory cross-sectional study, elderly population (≥60 years) from 2015 to 2017,
from northern Paraná. Bivariate analyzes of associations and frequency distribution were
performed.
Results: from the 189 analyzed medical records, 132 (69.9%) elderly developed morbidities
in the hospital environment. Urinary tract infection, sepsis, pneumonia, pressure injury,
and the presence of two or more comorbidities were associated with death outcome and
hospitalization time greater than 10 days p<0.001.
Conclusion: pre-existing and in-hospital morbidities in elderly with femur fracture increased
hospitalization for more than 10 days and with death outcome. Acquired morbidities in
infectious hospitalization contributed to complications and poor prognosis. It is hoped that
other studies can be further developed in order to develop hospital care protocols for the
elderly.
