Hip Fracture Geriatric (HIP-G) Index: Predicting 12-Month Mortality in Older Adults With Hip Fracture

Hip fractures in older adults are associated with high mortality, disability, and functional decline. Although tools like the Multidimensional Prognostic Index (MPI) are validated for risk stratification, their use is limited in acute care due to time constraints and the need for comprehensive interviews. The aim of this study was to define a faster, clinically applicable tool for mortality prediction.
