Key result
The rapid transit system for proximal femur fractures allowed 90% of patients to be discharged home within five days, with a 3-month mortality of 7%.
Why the study?

Does a rapid transit system improve discharge times and mortality in patients with proximal femur fractures?
A rapid transit system for proximal femur fractures allows for early home discharge and low 3-month mortality.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support rapid discharge pathways after hip fracture; leaves open causal mortality effects pending RCTs.
Sikorski et al. (1985) conducted an observational in Fractures of the proximal femur (n=50). Rapid transit system was evaluated on Discharge to home within the first five days. The rapid transit system for proximal femur fractures allowed 90% of patients to be discharged home within five days, with a 3-month mortality of 7%.
