Background: This study aims to investigate early and delayed mortality rates and hospitalization duration among patients with delayed and early femoral intertrochanteric fractures. 
Objectives: To compare short and long-term mortality rates and hospitalization duration between intertrochanteric fracture patients receiving early and delayed surgical treatment.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study demographic data, underlying disease history, pre-surgery hospitalization duration, surgery duration, and post-surgery hospitalization duration were extracted from patient files. Patients were divided into two groups with and without delay in surgery. Patients’ mortality rates were divided according to the time elapsed after the operation. They were divided into short-term and long-term categories. Data were analyzed using SPSS software, version 26.
Results: No significant difference was observed between the two groups in terms of age and sex distribution, but the frequency of underlying disease was significantly higher in the delayed surgery group (P<0.001). Also, mean hospital stay duration (P<0.001), surgery duration (P<0.001), short-term mortality (P=0.01) and long-term death (P<0.001) were significantly higher in the delayed surgery group.
Conclusion: Delayed surgery correlates with increased early and late mortality rates and prolonged hospital stay among patients with intertrochanteric femoral fractures.
