Popis: BACKGROUND Post-operative sepsis considerably increases mortality, but the extent of pre-operative sepsis in hip fracture patients and its consequences are sparsely elucidated. The aim of this study was to assess the association between pre-operative sepsis and 30-day mortality after hip fracture surgery. METHODS We conducted a retrospective analysis of data collected among 1894 patients who underwent hip fracture surgery in the Capital Region of Denmark in 2014 (NCT03201679). Data on vital signs, cultures and laboratory data were obtained. Sepsis was defined as a positive culture of any kind and presence of systemic inflammatory response syndrome within 24 hours and was assessed within 72 hours before surgery and 30 days post-operatively. Primary outcome was 30-day mortality. Secondary outcomes included length of hospital stay and admission to intensive care unit. RESULTS A total of 144 (7.6%) of the hip fracture patients met the criteria for pre-operative sepsis. The 30-day mortality was 13.9% in patients with pre-operative sepsis as compared to 9.0% in those without (OR 1.69, 95% CI [1.00; 2.85], P = .08). Patients with pre-operative sepsis had longer hospital stays (median 10 days vs 9 days, mean difference 2.1 [SD 9.4] days, P = .03), and higher frequency of ICU admission (11.1% vs 2.7%, OR 4.15, 95% CI [2.19; 7.87], P
