Abstract EN
The association between mental disorders (MDs) and iatrogenic complications after hip fracture surgery has been poorly studied.
Among iatrogenic complications, nosocomial infections (NIs) are a major factor in hip fracture surgery.
The aim of this paper was to determine whether patients with a MD and a hip fracture develop more NIs after hip surgery than patients with no MD.
We studied 912 patients who underwent surgery for a hip fracture (223 patients with a MD who underwent surgery for a hip fracture and 689 control patients without a MD who also underwent surgery for a hip fracture) and followed them after surgery.
Univariable and multivariable analyses were performed using simple and multiple logistic regression analysis (confidence interval, crude and adjusted odds ratios, and P value).
We found that MDs, gender, and comorbidities were not associated with a higher risk of developing a NI after surgery for a hip fracture.
Only age increases the risk of a NI.
