Abstract：Objective To use estimation of physiologic ability and surgical stress (E-PASS) to assay operative risks in patients with hip fracture and to discuss its application value.Methods Sixtyfour patients with hip fractures were subjected to the retrospective review.There were 38 males and 26 females,at mean age of 54.3 years (range,19-84 years).The operative risk was assayed by E-PASS and postoperative complications as well as case fatality were detected and compared.Results Postoperative complications developed in 16 patients (25％).E-PASS score was significantly higher for the patients with postoperative complications than in those without [(0.64 ± 0.31) points vs (0.22 ± 0.31) points,P ＜ 0.05].Incidence of complications was significantly lower for patients with a E-PASS score ＜ 0.6 than for those with a E-PASS score ＞ 0.6 (19％ vs 50％,P ＜ 0.01).There were 2 deaths among 16 patients with a E-PASS score ＞ 0.6.The remaining 48 patients with a E-PASS score ＜ 0.6 obtained satisfactory recovery.Conclusion E-PASS is effective for predicting operative risk and is instructive for surgery decision in treatment of hip fractures.
