Abstract

We carried out a descriptive study of 609 deceases for hip fracture at Matanzas province from 2001 to 2007. There was evidence of a slight increase in the average lived years per patient (ALY/P), as well as a reduction in the average lost years of life per patient who died (ALYL/P). The proportional mortality increased toward the end of the period (1.6% vs. 2.0%). The ratio hip fracture/deceases for accident (HF/DEC ACC) also experienced an increase (32.2 vs. 46.1). It was observed a proportionally direct-to-age increase in the total mortality rate and in both sexes, but women had the highest rate. The average lived years per death patient was similar between sexes (82.5 y 82.2) and the average lost years of life per patient who died was smaller among men (-2.8 vs. -3.4).
