Implication

Systematic review reveals a worldwide decline in 1-year mortality following hip fracture, indicating that historical 30% mortality estimates are outdated.

Key Points

To evaluate global trends in mortality rates at 1 year following hip fracture compared to historical figures.
Systematic review assessing worldwide literature and registry data tracking post-hip fracture survival.
Evidence demonstrates a consistent global reduction in post-hip fracture mortality at 1 year compared to historical benchmarks.
Historically cited mortality benchmarks of 10% at 1 month and 30% at 1 year appear outdated, likely reflecting the positive impact of 30 years of national registries, rigorous audit processes, and global collaboration.
