Abstract:

BACKGROUND: At present, there is no consensus on the risk factors for delirium after hip fracture in the elderly, and there is no risk prediction system that can effectively assess the risk of delirium after hip fracture in the elderly.

OBJECTIVE: To identify the risk factors of postoperative delirium of elderly hip fracture.
METHODS: Studies about delirium of elderly hip fracture patients were retrieved by computer. Quality of the studies was assessed. Analysis of sensitivity and heterogeneity was performed by RevMan 5.3 software and cumulative effects were calculated by either fixed or random effects models.
RESULTS AND CONCLOUSION: (1) Totally 15 studies included 872 cases of delirium and 3 221 cases of non-delirium. (2) The results of meta-analysis showed that: univariate analysis indicated that preoperative cognitive dysfunction [pooled OR=4.99, 95%CI(2.66, 9.37), P=0.000], age [pooled MD=3.60, 95%CI(2.21, 5.00), P=0.000], preoperative complications ≥ 3 [pooled OR=2.83, 95%CI(2.12, 3.79), P=0.000], preoperative hemoglobin < 100 mg/L [pooled OR=2.09, 95%CI(1.17, 3.76), P=0.01], preoperative albumin < 35 g/L [pooled OR=2.29, 95%CI(1.77, 2.97), P=0.01], general anesthesia [pooled OR=2.17, 95%CI(1.41, 3.34), P=0.000 4], the type or treatment of hip fracture [pooled OR=1.36, 95%CI(1.04, 1.78), P=0.02], operation time [pooled OR=2.88, 95%CI(1.42, 5.82), P=0.003], and intraoperative blood loss [pooled MD=36.97, 95%CI(25.74, 48.19), P=0.000] were the risk factors of postoperative delirium of elderly hip fracture patients. (3) Multivariate analysis showed that preoperative cognitive dysfunction [pooled=4.94, 95%CI(2.23, 10.95), P=0.000], age [pooled MD=2.84, 95%CI(1.89, 3.78), P=0.000], preoperative complications ≥ 3 [pooled OR=3.05, 95%CI(2.11, 4.41), P=0.000], general anesthesia [pooled OR=4.29, 95%CI(1.40, 13.14), P=0.01], and operation time ≥ 2.5 hours [pooled OR=2.62, 95%CI(1.68, 4.08), P=0.000] were independent risk factors for postoperative delirium of elderly hip fracture patients. (4) In conclusion, the independent risk factors of postoperative delirium of elderly hip fracture patients are preoperative cognitive dysfunction, age, preoperative complications ≥ 3, general anesthesia and operation time ≥ 2.5 hours. The type of fracture, preoperative waiting time, and type of operation are not related to postoperative delirium. However, due to the low quantity and quality of the included literature, the conclusion needs the support from many high-quality studies.
