Abstract

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to assess the evidence for the association between different biochemical markers at admission and mortality through a meta-analysis. DATA SOURCES: PubMed-, Embase-, Cochran Library and the Web of Knowledge were searched for cohort studies. STUDY SELECTION: Eligible studies were observational studies with a study population larger than 150 subjects, a mean age above 60 years and a study duration below 730 days. DATA EXTRACTION: Characteristics of studies and outcomes of all-cause mortality were extracted from the retrieved articles. Data were pooled across studies for the individual biomarker using random- or fixed-effect analysis. DATA SYNTHESIS: 15 eligible studies of 5 different markers on mortality were studied. The following markers were found to be of prognostic value on mortality in hip fracture patients: low haemoglobin (odds ratio, 2.78; 95% confidence interval, 2.17-3.55; P
