Symptomatic congenital CMV infection was more likely to occur after primary maternal CMV infection. Sensorineural hearing loss occurred in children born to mothers with both primary and non-primary CMV infections, and in both asymptomatic and symptomatic congenital CMV infection, but was more common after maternal primary infection. Most, but not all, hearing loss in children with cCMV associated hearing loss was first detected within the first year of life. We aimed to examine whether the number of previous hospitalizations and the main diagnoses of those hospitalizations are associated with increased in-hospital hip fracture mortality for older people. That assessment is relevant because if those variables are shown to be associated with increased mortality, that finding could support their use as proxies for comorbidity burden for case-mix adjustment in statistical models seeking to compare the performance of hospitals regarding hip fracture mortality in settings with limited hospital information systems. In this retrospective cohort study of all public hospital admissions for older adults with hip fractures in the city of Rio de Janeiro between 2010 and 2011, we used data from the Hospital Admission Information System database to examine the association between in-hospital mortality and the number of hospitalizations in the previous two years and their main diagnoses through logistic regression. Among 1938 patients included in the study there were 103 ( in settings where local hospital information systems have limited access to secondary diagnoses, the use of the number of previous hospitalizations or the main diagnoses associated with those hospitalizations as proxies for the profile of comorbidities of older adults with hip fractures may not be an effective way to adjust for case-mix when comparing in-hospital mortality rates among ho
