Popis: BACKGROUND & AIMS: The number of hip fracture surgeries exhibit an increasing trend due to the aging of the world's population and it is expected to become a serious public health problem in the future. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between mortality and morbidity in patients aged 65 years or older who underwent partial hip prosthesis due to hip fracture. METHODS: Four-hundred and forty-three patients aged 65 and above who underwent partial hip prosthesis for fractured hips between 2007 and 2014 were retrospectively investigated. The age before surgery, gender, type of fracture, additional diseases, ASA scores of the patients and time to mortality were investigated in addition to the factors that affect mortality. RESULTS: Of the 443 patients in the study, 167 were males and 276 were females, with an average age of 80.5 ± 7.2 and 81.1 ± 7.0 years, respectively. One hundred and sixty-two (36.57%) of these patients died within the first year. When the patients were investigated according to age groups, there was a significant relationship between mortality after surgery and patients aged 80 years and above. No statistically significant relationship was found between the time to surgery and mortality. When compared in terms of ASA scores, it was concluded mortality in ASA 3 and 4 groups was significantly higher than ASA 1 and 2 groups (p
