 This study evaluated the functional outcomes and mortality following hip fracture surgery in elderly patients and identified independent risk factors for mortality, poor hip function, and poor ability to perform activities of daily living. The mortality rate was 15.6% with advanced age, male gender, living in a rural area, self-reported diabetes, tumor, preoperative delay, postoperative drainage use, elevated white blood cell count, reduced red blood cell count, low platelet count, low albumin level, and high creatinine kinase level being independent factors for mortality. Independent factors for poor hip function included male gender, elevated white blood cell count, lower hemoglobin level, and low albumin level. Independent factors for poor ability to perform activities of daily living included diagnosis of trochanteric fracture, preoperative delay, postoperative drainage use, elevated white blood cell count, lower hemoglobin level, low platelet count, and low albumin level.
