Objective To explore the epidemiological characteristics and research status of elderly hip fractures in Chinaand provide some basis for the prevention and treatment of elderly hip fracturebyliterature analysis.Methods The literaturerelated to epidemiologyof elderly hip fractures published in PubMed,Web of Science,Cochrane,Chinese Biomedical Literature(CBM),Embase,CNKI,VIP,and Wanfang Database weresearched.The literaturewere searched and screened by two researchers independently.Quality assessment of caseseries studieswereusedto assess the risk of bias for the selected literature.And data was extracted using GraphPad Prism 8 software and analyzed using SPSS 21.0 statistical software.Results A total of 245 literature were searched,17 of which met the inclusion criteria.A total of 75 407 patients were included.There were 24 552 males(32.6%) and 50 855 females(67.4%).10 014 patients were divided into 4 groups by ages in 7 studies.There were a total of 2 296 cases (22.9%) in the group aged 60 to 69,including 925 males and 1 371 females.There were 3 855 cases(38.5%) in the group aged 70 to 79,including 1 367 males and 2 488 females.There were 3 187 cases (31.8%) in the group aged 80 to 89,including 1 098 males and 2 089 females.There were 676 cases (6.8%) in the group aged 90 and older,including 209 males and 467 females.There were more female patients than male patients in all age groups,and the differencewere statistically significant (χ2=29.70,P<0.001).Fracture types were mentioned in 11 studies,including 13 791 patients,6 941 cases(49.7%) of intertrochanteric fractures and 6 850 cases(50.3%) of femoral neck fractures,of which 6 studies divide 8 172 patients into 4 groups by ages: There were 2 048 cases in the group aged 60 to 69,including 1 286 cases of femoral neck fracture and 762 cases of intertrochanteric fracture.There were 2 787 cases in the group aged 70 to 79,including 1 367 cases of femoral neck fracture and 1 306 cases of intertrochanteric fracture.There were 2 779 cases in the group aged 80 to 89,including 1 255 cases of femoral neck fracture and 1 524 cases of intertrochanteric fracture.There were 588 cases in the group aged 90 and older,there were 210 cases of femoral neck fracture and 348 cases of intertrochanteric fracture.There wa no significant difference in terms of fracture type constituent ratio among different age groups (χ2=195.0,P>0.05).A total of 5 657 patients were included,of which there were 5 047 cases (89.2%) caused by falls.The relationship between the incidence and season is mentioned in 3 studies,reaching 3 422 cases,845 cases (24.7%) in spring,784 cases(22.9%) in summer,795 cases(23.2%) in autumn,and 998 cases(29.2%) in winter.Compared with other seasons,there were more cases in winter,and the difference was statistically significant (χ2 =17.35,P<0.001).Conclusion The comprehensive analysis of the literature shows that the number of elderly hip fracture patients in China is more than that of men in the past ten years,and the male to female ratio is about 1:2.The proportion of patients aged 70 to 79 is higher than that of other groups,and the proportion of patients aged 90 and above is lower than that of other groups.The ration of patients with intertrochanteric fracture and femoral neck fracture is about 1︰1.Among epidemic factors,falls account for 89.2%;The number of patients in winter is higher than that in other seasons.There is long hospital stay and high hospitalization costs.
