This study is a 10-year follow-up of a previously enrolled cohort of patients who underwent surgery for acute hip fracture with spinal anesthesia and had pre-fracture cognitive status assessed (Clinical Dementia Rating, CDR) and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers related to Alzheimer's disease measured (e.g., Aβ42/Aβ40 ratio, total tau, phosphorylated tau). The primary aim is to determine long-term survival at 10 years after index hip fracture surgery and to evaluate whether baseline cognitive status and/or Alzheimer-type CSF biomarker profiles are associated with long-term mortality.
