Abstract
Background: .Intertrochanteric fractures are extracapsular proximal femur fractures between the greater and lesser trochanters, commonly resulting from low-energy falls in elderly patients. Intertrochanteric fractures are associated with high mortality rates; however, data on mortality profile and predictors remain scarce in Africa. Therefore, this study will investigate profile of 2 year mortality in elderly patients with intertrochanteric fractures treated by surgery
Objective: To asses two years mortality profile of intertrochanteric fracture in elderly patients treated with surgery at Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital from September 2020-October 2023
Methods: This is a three year retrospective study to be conducted on elderly patients who presented with intertrochanteric fracture and treated by surgery at Tikur Anbessa Hospital from September 2020-October 2023. Data will be collected from major operation theatre Logbooks and HMIS records at outpatient and inpatient departments of orthopedics and trauma surgery . Data will be collected using kobo toolbox software and analyzed with SPSS version 27. P-value < 0.05 is going to be taken as statistically significant. Results will be described in texts, tables and charts.
Workplan and budget: The research will be executed between June 2025 to December 2025 and the rough estimated budget is 25,100ETB.
