Key result

The Standardised Audit of Hip Fracture in Europe (SAHFE) project defines a standardized data set of 34 core questions to facilitate international comparisons of hip fracture treatment and rehabilitation.

Key Points

To establish a standardised European hip fracture audit framework to enable cross-border comparisons and determine optimal treatment and rehabilitation protocols.
Defined a core data set containing 34 primary questions alongside a larger collection of optional variables.
Embedded standardized patient outcome measures scheduled for evaluation at 120 days following injury.
Designed a distributed model where local centers collect and analyze internal metrics while national bodies provide comparative benchmarks.
Established an international standardized audit protocol capable of facilitating robust multicenter and multinational data comparisons.
Created a common metric framework to evaluate the effectiveness of varied treatment regimens and rehabilitation strategies across European centers.
