Background

This clinical study aims to establish the rate of operative inadvertent hypothermia (IH) in elderly hip fracture patients (>65 years old). We postulate that differences exist in risk factors and hypothesised poorer outcomes in patients with IH.

Methods

A single centre, retrospective study of 929 hip fracture patients managed operatively between June 2015 and July 2017 was conducted. Patients’ demographic, anaesthetic and surgical variables were analysed together with outcomes for length of stay (LOS), 30-day re-admissions, and 30-day mortality.
