Key result
Fragility hip fracture was associated with significantly higher 5-year mortality compared to matched controls (59.0% vs 24.9%; log-rank P<0.0005).

May warrant intensified post-fracture monitoring in older adults; leaves open whether interventions reduce long-term mortality.

Absolute Event Rate: 59% vs 24.9%

Fragility hip fractures are associated with significantly higher short- and long-term mortality compared to the general population, highlighting the need for optimized post-fracture care.
Diamantopoulos et al. (2013) conducted a cohort in Fragility hip fracture (n=3,768). Fragility hip fracture vs. Matched controls from the background population was evaluated on Overall mortality at 5 years (p=<0.0005). Fragility hip fracture was associated with significantly higher 5-year mortality compared to matched controls (59.0% vs 24.9%; log-rank P<0.0005).
