Psychiatric illness and mortality after hip fracture
Nightingale S, Holmes J, Mason J, House A.. Lancet (London, England), 2001-04-01
Topic: Risk, prevention and care in population studies
People with dementia or delirium have increased mortality in the 6 months after hip fracture, but depression might take longer to have an effect. We assessed the psychiatric status of 731 participants with hip fracture and analysed the effect of psychiatric illness on mortality during the next 2 years. We found that dementia, delirium, and depression all increased the risk of mortality (p<0.0001, p<0.0001, and p=0.0359, respectively), and that mortality differed significantly between hospitals (p=0.0003). We suggest that psychiatric interventions should be asssessed in hip-fracture patients with adequate follow up of outcome measures.

Key findings
- We found that dementia, delirium, and depression all increased the risk of mortality (p<0.0001, p<0.0001, and p=0.0359, respectively), and that mortality differed significantly between hospitals (p=0.0003).
- We suggest that psychiatric interventions should be asssessed in hip-fracture patients with adequate follow up of outcome measures.

How this study scored 50/100
Published in a top-tier journal. Scored zero for study design, effect reported and randomised / blinded because the record does not state it. We have no data on journal's citation record, times cited, citations per year, impact for its field and year, cited by studies here, still being cited, senior author's track record, institution's track record and multi-centre collaboration, so those were left out: it earned 29 of the 58 points we could judge it on, which is 50 out of 100.
