Objective: The primary objective was to describe the clinical characteristics, management, and outcomes of centenarians with fragility hip fracture and compare them to other age groups. The secondary objective was to determine the variables associated with length of stay, in-hospital mortality and 30-day mortality.
Materials And Methods: This is a secondary analysis of the Spanish National Hip Fracture Registry.
Unlabelled: This study was carried out to analyze the evolution of the quality indicators in the Spanish National Hip Fracture Registry, after disseminating a series of recommendations based on available clinical practice guidelines to the participating hospitals. Six of the seven proposed quality indicators showed a significant improvement.
Purpose: The Spanish National Hip Fracture Registry (RNFC) arises from the need to know the process and improve the quality of care.

Purpose: One in four hip fracture patients comes from an aged care facility. This study aimed to compare the characteristics of these subjects with their community-dwelling counterparts at baseline, during hospitalization and 1-month post-fracture.
Methods: We analyzed data from a cohort of older adults admitted with hip fractures to 75 Spanish hospitals, collected prospectively in the Spanish National Hip Fracture Registry between 2016 and 2018.
Unlabelled: This study was carried out to describe the profile of prescription of antiosteoporotic treatment at discharge after a hip fracture in the Spanish National Hip Fracture Registry. Prescription rates among hospitals ranged from 0 to 94% of patients discharged. The prescription rate was higher among patients with better cognitive and functional baseline status.
