Abstract

Purpose

To evaluate the mortality rate, intensive care unit (ICU) referral, and Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) between different types of vaccinated and non-vaccinated patients operated on due to intertrochanteric femoral fracture (IFF) during the pandemic.

Methods

Ninety-six patients (43 males, 53 females) who had proximal femur nails (PFN) for the IFF during the pandemic were included in the study. The patients were divided into four subgroups; non-vaccinated, and different types of vaccinated. Mortality rates, ICU referrals, and CCI relations were evaluated.

Results

No significant difference was observed in terms of demographic data such as age, gender, side, CCI, and ICU referrals between the subgroups (p = 0.164, p = 0.546, p = 0.703, p = 0.771, p = 0.627 respectively). The mortality rate was significantly lower in the Sinovac + BioNTech subgroup (p = 0.044).

Conclusion

No relationship was found between mortality rate, ICU referral, and CCI in different types of vaccinated and non-vaccinated patient subgroups.
