Frailty and Nottingham Hip Fracture Score for Predicting 90-Day Mortality After Hip Fractu
Hip fractures are serious injuries that occur mostly in older adults. Many people experience health problems or may die in the months after surgery.

| Summary | Hip fractures are serious injuries that occur mostly in older adults. Many people experience health problems or may die in the months after surgery. Doctors try to identify patients who have a higher risk of poor outcomes as early as possible. Doctors often use the Nottingham Hip Fracture Score (NHFS) to estimate the risk of death after hip fracture surgery. This score uses information such as age and other health conditions. However, it does not fully reflect how physically vulnerable a person may be. Another important concept is frailty. Frailty describes how strong or weak a person's overall health and physical reserve are. In this study, frailty will be measured using the Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS). This scale evaluates a person's level of independence and physical function before th |
