Predictors of 5 year survival following XXXX .

@entity1 @entity173
BACKGROUND: This study aims to assess the mortality associated with @entity173 at 5 years in a geriatric population, and evaluate the influence of age, cognitive state, mobility and residential status on long term survival after @entity173 . METHODS: A prospective audit was carried out of all @entity1 with a @entity173 admitted to a university hospital over a 4 year period. Data from 2640 @entity1 were analysed and multivariate analysis used to indicate the important variables predicting mortality. @entity1 fulfilling the criteria of age<80 years, Abbreviated Mental Test Score (AMT)>= 7/10, independently mobile and admitted from own home were put into group A (low risk group). @entity1 not meeting the criteria were placed into group B (high risk group). RESULTS: 2640 @entity1 fitted the inclusion criteria, 482 in group A and 2158 in group B. 850 @entity1 (43.1%) died in their first year following @entity173 . 302 @entity1 (63%) of group A were still alive at 5 years in comparison with only 367 (17%) of group B. Overall, 669 (25%) @entity1 survived for 5 years. Increased survival was shown for the following variables: age<80 years RR 5.27 (p<0.01), AMT>= 7/10 RR 6.03 (p<0.01), independent mobility RR 2.63 (p<0.01) and admitted from own home RR 4.52 (p<0.01). CONCLUSIONS: These findings will allow for early recognition of those @entity1 with an increased chance of long-term survival following @entity173 . Such @entity1 may be suitable for surgical treatment, such as total hip replacement, which has a good long-term outcome.
