Clinical Data-Driven AI Model for Mortality Prediction After Hip Fracture

Hip fractures are a major cause of morbidity and mortality, particularly in elderly patients. Accurate prediction of postoperative mortality is critical for risk stratification and clinical decision-making. Traditional scoring systems, such as the Nottingham Hip Fracture Score, have limitations in capturing complex, non-linear relationships among clinical variables.

This retrospective cohort study aims to develop and validate an artificial intelligence-based model to predict 30-day mortality in patients undergoing hip fracture surgery. Clinical and laboratory data of approximately 1000 patients operated between January 1, 2022 and December 1, 2025 will be extracted from electronic health records. Variables include demographic characteristics, comorbidities, laboratory parameters, perioperative data, and postoperative complications.

The performance of the artificial intelligence model will be evaluated and compared with conventional risk scoring systems. The study seeks to determine whether AI-based approaches can provide improved predictive accuracy for postoperative mortality in hip fracture patients.
