Preventable mortality in geriatric hip fracture inpatients
There is a high rate of mortality in elderly patients who sustain a fracture of the hip. We aimed to determine the rate of preventable mortality and errors during the management of these patients.

A multidis...

متن کاملSubsequent Hip Fracture in Osteoporotic Hip Fracture Patients
PURPOSE A significant number of patients who have experienced previous surgical treatment for an osteoporotic hip fracture experience a subsequent hip fracture (SHF) on the opposite side. This study aims to analyze the risk factors and the correlation between osteoporosis and SHF on the opposite side in order to assess the usefulness of bisphosphonate treatment for the prevention of SHFs. MAT...

BACKGROUND Elderly patients with hip fracture have a 5 to 8 fold increased risk of death during the months following surgery. We tested the hypothesis that early geriatric management of these patients focused on co-morbidities and rehabilitation improved long term mortality. METHODS AND FINDINGS In a cohort study over a 6 year period, we compared patients aged >70 years with hip fracture admi...
