The impact of COVID-19 on morbidity and mortality in neck of femur fracture patients: a prospective case-control cohort study.

Aims: Within the UK, around 70,000 patients suffer neck of femur (NOF) fractures annually. Patients presenting with this injury are often frail, leading to increased morbidity and a 30-day mortality rate of 6.1%.

The determinants of successful in-hospital rehabilitation in people aged 90 years and older.

Background/objectives: The very elderly constitute a subgroup of elderly who may respond differently than the younger elderly to medical intervention. This possibility has not previously been investigated. Our study investigates whether successful rehabilitation of the very elderly is possible within the current processes of care and also whether factors that help predict successful rehabilitation in all age elderly are applicable to the oldest old.
