| Abstract | Objective: To identify the frequen- cy of geriatric syndromes in patients with a non- recent hip fracture seen at a primary health care unit in the state of Puebla, Mexico. Material and methods: Cross-sectional study conducted in 376 patients with a non-recent hip fracture screened for geriatric syndromes. We included demograph- ic variables, urinary incontinence, polypharmacy, sleep disorder, nutritional status, depression and autonomy. The two latter were assessed using the Yesavage geriatric depression scale and the Katz index. We used descriptive statistics. Results: The total number of patients was 376; 219 (58%) were females and 157 (42%) were males; mean age was 72.57 years (65-95 ± 7.08), and 98.7% had at least one geriatric syndrome. Depression was detected in 303 (80.9%), 282 (75%) were on polypharmacy, 262 (69.7%) had sleep disorders, 63 (16.8%) had experienced falls, 19 (5.1%) had urinary inconti- nence, 15 (4%) were obese, and 3 (0.8%) had loss of autonomy. Conclusion: 98.7% of the patients had at least one geriatric syndrome; females were the most affected sex; depression was the most fre- quent syndrome, followed by polypharmacy, sleep disorders, falls, urinary incontinence, obesity and loss of autonomy. |
