The outcome of this study was to identify 9-year survivors of intertrochanteric fracture at each stage of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and to investigate the risk factors associated with mortality following surgery with proximal femoral nail anti-rotation (PFNA). 443 elderly intertrochanteric fractures underwent PFNA fixation were recruited. Mortality rate was identified until 9 years. We compared the survival time of hip fracture in each stage of CKD. A regression analysis was used to determine the association between risk factors and one-year mortality. The overall median survival time was 7.1 years. The Kaplan-Meier curve was significantly different in each CKD stage especially in CKD5. In addition, the incidence rate of mortality was highest in CKD 5 (17.4%) and the median survival time in CKD 5 was 3.3 years. The multivariate analysis demonstrated that heart disease, operative time > 60 min, presence of pulmonary embolism, and poor to fair Harris hip score were significantly increased mortality. CKD stage 5 is associated with the highest mortality rate and the shortest median time of survival during the 9-year follow up. Patients who have high risk should focus on long-term care planning, including the counseling for their healthcare providers and families.© 2024. The Author(s).
