Abstract
Introduction: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the prevalence of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and its impact on mortality in patients with hip fracture.
Methods: We performed a systematic literature search in PubMed, Cochrane Central Database, and medRvix from inception up to July 13, 2020 on research articles that enrolled hip fracture patients who had information on COVID-19 and clinically validated definition of death.
Results: A total of 984 participants from 6 studies were included in our study. The pooled prevalence of COVID-19 was 9% [95% CI: 7-11%]. The mortality rate in patients with concomitant hip fracture and COVID-19 was found to be 36% (95% CI: 26-47%), whereas the mortality rate in hip fracture without COVID-19 is 2% (95% CI: 1-3%). Meta-analysis showed that COVID-19 was associated with a seven-fold increase in risk (RR 7.45 [95% CI: 2.72, 20.43], p < 0.001; I[SUP]2[/SUP]: 68.6%) of mortality in patients with hip fracture. Regression-based Harbord's test showed no indication of small-study effects (p = 0.06).
Conclusion: The present meta-analysis showed that COVID-19 increased the risk of mortality in patients with hip fracture.
Trial registration: This study is registered with PROSPERO, July 21, 2020, number CRD42020199618. Available from https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/display_record.php?ID=CRD42020199618.
Keywords: COVID-19; Hip fracture; Hip surgery; Mortality; Proximal femur fracture.
