Mortality after hip fracture remained stable despite rising comorbidities; leaves open whether care improvements offset demographic shifts in Denmark.
Cohort (n=122,923)
Despite an increasing burden of comorbidities, 30-day and 1-year mortality following hip fracture in Denmark remained unchanged from 1999 to 2012.
Jantzen et al. (2018) conducted a cohort in Hip fracture (n=122,923). Temporal trends (1999-2012) was evaluated on Incidence of first hip fracture, co-morbidity prevalence, 30 day- and 1-year mortality. From 1999 to 2012, hip fracture incidence declined for women but was unchanged for men, while 30-day and 1-year mortality remained unchanged despite a large increase in co-morbidities.
