EHEdward L. HannanJMJay MagazinerJWJason Wang

Key Points

  • The aim is to investigate the relationship between mortality and functional status following hip fracture hospitalization.
  • Analyzed hospital performance for mortality and functional status post-hip fracture
  • Adjusted for various care processes affecting each outcome
  • Compared individual and combined effects of outcomes
  • Mortality rates and functional status showed substantial differences after adjustment for care processes.
  • Distinct care approaches were identified as significant to each outcome, indicating different influences.

Abstract

Mortality and functional status ideally should be considered both together and individually to distinguish effects limited to one or the other outcome. Hospital performance for these 2 measures may differ substantially after adjustment, probably because different processes of care are important to each outcome.
