ABSTRACT
Introduction: Hip fracture has a high rate of complications, mortality and increases the risk of developing functional decline. In addition to this, the costs are very high. There are modifiable factors such as surgical delay that unnecessarily raise health costs. Decreasing surgical delay can reduce costs and improve healthcare outcomes.
Objectives: To analyze the costs generated by the surgical delay in hip fracture and compare them with early surgery.
Material and methods: Observational, retrospective, cross sectional study at Hospital Regional ISSSTE León between 2017 to 2018. An analysis of direct costs attributed to the hip bill was carried out in patients with surgery in less than 48 hours and it was compared against surgery in more than 48 hours.
Results: The total cost of the hip fracture was $ 124,956 Mexican pesos, with a statistically significant difference of $ 25,539.10 between the group with surgical delay vs early surgery.
Conclusion: The surgical delay in hip fracture generates an unnecessary cost to the institute in addition to having negative effects on the health of the patients. Policies must be generated to operate on patients in the first 48 hours.
