Influence of proximal femur fractures in the autonomy and mortality of elderly patients submitted to osteosynthesis with cephalomedullary nail.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveTo determine the autonomy and mortality of elderly patients submitted to proximal femoral osteosynthesis with cephalomedullary nail after hip fracture.
methodsRetrospective study with 61 patients with proximal femoral fractures submitted to cephalomedullary nail osteosynthesis. The authors analyzed the medical records and collected information from the preoperative period. Patients were questioned regarding pain, postoperative autonomy, and degree of satisfaction. The total number of deaths was verified. The results were then correlated.
resultsThe mean age was 84 years, predominantly female (82%). In the postoperative evaluation, 45% of the patients presented worsened levels of autonomy. The majority of patients presented mild pain (61%) on the VAS scale. The mortality rate was 24.6%, and the mean time of preoperative hospitalization was three days. The factors that presented statistical significance regarding postoperative autonomy were the time elapsed from the trauma until the moment of surgery, ASA score, fracture stability, and previous functional status of the patients. The mortality rate was associated with three main factors: advanced age, ASA score, and preoperative hospitalization time.
conclusionThe patient's previous autonomy positively influenced the functional outcome and postoperative recovery. Unstable fractures presented worse results for pain and ambulation in a follow-up of 27 months. Hip fracture is a risk factor associated with mortality and decreased independence in patients over 65 years of age.
