Pre-existing conditions are common among geriatric hip fracture patients. Pre-existing neurological and kidney-related diseases had the highest impact on functional outcomes and mortality rates at the end of acute care and in the medium term. In contrast to pre-existing cardiovascular disease, pre-existing neurological, kidney, respiratory and gastrointestinal disorders were also found to be associated with increased mortality rates in the medium term.
