Table 5. Life expectancy and one–year mortality after hip fracture in patients over 50 years.

Life expectancy and one–year mortality after hip fracture in patients over 50 years. Life expectancy was estimated by exponential regression and adjusted by age and gender. One-year mortality is reported in three items. First is the summarized data. Second is the probability of dying one year after the hip fracture estimated with logistic regression and adjusted by age and gender. Last is the one–year mortality estimated after adjusting for the mean age and gender proportion reported in the study by Dinamarca-Montecinos et al. [10]. All data are accompanied by the 95% confidence interval.
