AB  - This study investigates mortality variations between elective and urgent hip surgeries, focusing surgery timing and its impact on post-operative mortality. By comparing cases of femoral neck fractures, pertrochanteric fractures, and coxarthrosis across different follow-up durations, it aims to identify factors contributing to increased mortality.We used a random sample of German longitudinal health claims data (N = 250,000, 2004-2019) and identified 10,310 patients aged 50 years and older who underwent surgery for femoral neck fracture, pertrochanteric fracture, or coxarthrosis between 2004 and 2014. We tracked mortality at 30 days, 1 year, and 5 years. Cox proportional models were used, adjusted for the following covariates at the time of surgery: sex, age, comorbidities, nursing home dependency, discharge diagnosis, and weekday of surgery.Mortality probabilities were 5
