Sumario:The aim of this study was to analyze the profile and risk of in-hospital death and after 30 days of discharge of elderly people who came into contact with the femur from September 2015 to July 2016. This is a cohort study from the quantitative, longitudinal and prospective type. There was no association between femur fracture and in-hospital death and up to 30 days after discharge; however, the elderly diagnosed with femur fracture were associated with the development of in-hospital complications and hospital immobility.
