Özet
Purpose: To evaluate the mortality rate, intensive care unit (ICU) referral, and Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) between different types of vaccinated and non-vaccinated patients operated on due to intertrochanteric femoral fracture (IFF) during the pandemic. Methods: Ninety-six patients (43 males, 53 females) who had proximal femur nails (PFN) for the IFF during the pandemic were included in the study. The patients were divided into four subgroups; non-vaccinated, and different types of vaccinated. Mortality rates, ICU referrals, and CCI relations were evaluated. Results: No significant difference was observed in terms of demographic data such as age, gender, side, CCI, and ICU referrals between the subgroups (p = 0.164, p = 0.546, p = 0.703, p = 0.771, p = 0.627 respectively). The mortality rate was significantly lower in the Sinovac + BioNTech subgroup (p = 0.044). Conclusion: No relationship was found between mortality rate, ICU referral, and CCI in different types of vaccinated and non-vaccinated patient subgroups.
