ABSTRACT

Introduction: The aim of this study was to describe the epidemiology and to estimate the direct medical costs of hip fracture among elderly patients in Mexico. Material and methods: An observational, cross sectional and retrospective study was undertaken. Hospital discharge and surgical procedures for the period 2013-2018 were the databases used for the analysis, and obtained from General Directorate of Health Information. Variables included were sex, federal entity, age, year of discharge, and fracture type according to the CIE-10; and also, the supplies needed for the surgical procedures. Results: A total of 16,829 patients with hip fracture were discharge, 69% were women, and the mean for age was 79 years old and for the hospital stay length was nine days. The most frequent fracture type was the femur neck with 77% and the average medical costs was USD$45,122,228.00. Conclusion: Falling risks increase with age, especially in patients among 80-89 years of age, hence, is expected that this type of pathology increases in the following years. The medical costs for treatment of hip fracture represents an economic impact on health services. For that reason, the implementation of prevention strategies, risk of falling for example, is the one of most efficient approach.
