Abstract
Background
There are several potential risk factors in patients with a hip fracture for a higher rate of mortality that include: comorbid disorders, poor general health, age, male gender, ...poor mobility prior to injury, type of fracture, poor cognitive status, place of residence. The aim of this study was to assess the influence of potential risk factors for six-month mortality in hip fracture patients.
Methods
The study included all patients with a hip fracture older than 65 who had been admitted to the Clinic for orthopaedic surgery during one year. One hundred and ninety-two patients were included in the study.
Results
Six months after admission due to a hip fracture, 48 patients had died (6-month mortality rate was 25%). The deceased were statistically older than the patients who had survived. Univariate regression analysis indicated that six variables had a significant effect on hip fracture patients’ survival: age, mobility prior to the fracture, poor cognitive status, activity of daily living, comorbidities and the place where they had fallen. Multivariate regression modelling showed that the following factors were independently associated with mortality at 6 months post fracture: poor cognitive status, poor mobility prior to the fracture, comorbid disease.
Conclusion
Poor cognitive status appeared to be the strongest mortality predictor. The employment of brief tests for cognitive status evaluation would enable orthopaedists to have good criteria for the choice of treatment for each patient screened.

Odprti dostop
Na mnogim stranicama Staroga i Novoga zavjeta nalazimo mnoštvo zapisa i nagovještaja o neumoljivom ratu između Boga i Sotone, između dobra i zla na kozmičkom i osobnom području. Uspoređujući ove ...tekstove, možemo oblikovati mozaički prozor istine kroz koji vidimo cjelokupnu poruku Biblije s većom jasnoćom nego inače.
Moralni sukob koji je uznemirio svemir stvoren Božjom rukom, usko je povezan s planom spasenja. Naime, plan spasenja ne osigurava samo izbavljenje ljudskog roda iz okova grijeha, već i opravdanje božanskog Trojstva od Sotoninih optužbi.
U ovom su poglavlju biblijski podaci izneseni kronološkim redom da bismo uspješnije prikazali narav tog rata, kako se razbuktao, njegov tijek i posljednju bitku koja završava Sotoninim porazom i Božjom pobjedom i opravdanjem. Poglavlje završava sažetkom važnijih teoloških istina koje su obuhvaćene ovim temeljnim naukom Svetoga pisma.
