 This study aimed to determine the overall incidence and risk factors for stroke in patients with hip fractures. The systematic search of the literature revealed that the incidence of stroke in patients greater than 50 years of age with hip fractures was 6.72%. The incidence of stroke by region was highest in the American continent. Diabetes significantly increased the risk of stroke, while BMI greater than 24.4 in female gender did not significantly increase the risk of stroke. Lower albumin concentrations were a risk factor for stroke in patients with hip fracture. This article was authored by Jose Maria Lamo Espinosa, Gonzalo Mariscal, Jorge Gomez-Alvarez, and others.
