The aim of this retrospective study is to compare the efficacy of the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status classification and the Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) in predicting postoperative intensive care unit (ICU) requirements in geriatric patients undergoing hip fracture surgery. The investigators will analyze medical records of patients aged 65 and older. The study will evaluate whether the CFS provides better predictive value for ICU admission compared to the traditional ASA score in this specific surgical population.

Inclusion Criteria:Age: Patients aged 65 years and older.
Diagnosis: Patients diagnosed with acute traumatic hip fracture, including femoral neck, intertrochanteric, or subtrochanteric fractures.
Surgical Intervention: Patients who have undergone or are scheduled for surgical treatment (e.g., arthroplasty, internal fixation/osteosynthesis) for hip fracture.
Data Integrity: Availability of complete electronic health records, including preoperative anesthesia evaluation forms and ASA physical status scores.
Functional Assessment: Presence of sufficient clinical and nursing documentation to retrospectively determine the Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) score based on preoperative functional status.
\-
Exclusion Criteria:Pathological and Periprosthetic Fractures: Fractures resulting from bone metastases or those occurring around an existing prosthesis.
Multiple Trauma: Patients with concomitant major organ injuries or additional limb fractures that could impact clinical outcomes.
Conservative Management: Patients who did not undergo surgical intervention and were managed non-surgically.
Incomplete Data: Cases with missing ASA scores, laboratory results, or postoperative clinical follow-up data in the hospital records.
Insufficient Functional Documentation: Patients whose clinical or nursing notes are inadequate for retrospective determination of the Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) score.
Patient Transfer: Patients transferred to another healthcare facility preoperatively or i…
