Patients were divided into two groups with and without delay in surgery. Patients&rsquo; 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.<br> <strong>Results</strong>: 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.<br> <strong>Conclusion</strong>: Delayed surgery correlates with increased early and late mortality rates and prolonged hospital stay among patients with intertrochanteric femoral fractures.</span></span></span></div> Intertrochanteric femoral fracture, Death, Delayed surgery 197 200 http://jros.iums.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-936-1&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Mohammad Ali Tahririan tahririan@med.mui.ac.ir 10031947532846006906 10031947532846006906 No Department of Orthopedic Surgery, School of Medicine, Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Isfahan, Iran.
