BACKGROUND: @entity173 in the elderly are followed by increased mortality, which is highest in the period immediately after the @entity174 . Predictors for early mortality have neither been well identified nor summarized. Identification of early postoperative mortality predictors enables the stratification of high-risk @entity1 and can help in the development of strategies aimed at reducing risk and improving outcome after @entity173 . The primary aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of 30-day mortality. The secondary aim was to investigate factors related to early mortality. METHODS: We examined 384 elderly @entity1 with @entity173 . Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to explore independent prognostic factors for 30-day mortality. RESULTS: By the end of the 30-day follow-up period, 22 @entity1 (6.4%) had died. @entity260 was the only variable independently related to 30-day mortality after @entity173 . Older, male @entity1 with a lower cognitive status had a higher chance of developing @entity260 . DISCUSSION: @entity260 is a strong independent marker of high risk for 30-day mortality. Older, male @entity1 with more severe @entity73 are at increased risk of developing @entity260 . Identifying @entity1 at risk for developing @entity260 upon admission and early detection of delirium enable the development of targeted prevention and intervention strategies in older @entity1 with @entity173 .
