Implication

Avoiding delirium and expediting surgery may shorten LOS after hip fracture; this Level 3 model leaves open its role in care pathways pending validation.

Population

Geriatric hip fracture patients enrolled into a hip fracture co-management pathway at an academic level I trauma center from 2014 to 2015 (tested against a sample from 2016)

Intervention

Predictive model of length of stay (LOS) developed from patient-specific and system-specific variables using multivariate linear regression

Outcome

Length of stay (LOS)

Predictive modeling of length of stay in geriatric hip fracture patients highlights the importance of early surgery and delirium prevention.
