Why the study?
Does hip fracture increase short- and long-term all-cause mortality in older persons?
Does hip fracture increase short- and long-term all-cause mortality in older persons?
Hip fracture in older adults is associated with increased short- and long-term all-cause mortality.
Alerts clinicians to high post-fracture mortality risk in older adults; extends prior cohorts while leaving interventional effects untested.
In this large population-based sample of older persons across eight cohorts, hip fracture was associated with excess short- and long-term all-cause mortality in both sexes.
