Systematic review and meta-analysis of preoperative predictors for early mortality following hip fracture surgery.

Hip fractures are a global health problem with a high postoperative mortality rate. Preoperative predictors for early mortality could be used to optimise and personalise healthcare strategies. This study aimed to identify predictors for early mortality following hip fracture surgery.

Transparency in hip fracture recovery over institutional boundaries: The transmural monitoring pathway.

Objectives: To develop a transmural pathway for healthcare professionals across institutions to monitor the recovery of hip fracture patients. The secondary objectives were to evaluate the pathway's feasibility and initial outcomes.

Design: Prospective cohort study.

Mobile App for Monitoring 3-Month Postoperative Functional Outcome After Hip Fracture: Usability Study.

Background: As a result of an aging population, there has been an increasing incidence of hip fractures worldwide. In the Netherlands, in order to improve the quality of care for elderly patients with hip fractures, the multidisciplinary Centre for Geriatric Traumatology was established in 2008 at the Department of Trauma Surgery at Ziekenhuisgroep Twente hospital (located in Almelo and Hengelo in the Netherlands).

Objective: Though the Dutch Hip Fracture audit is used to monitor the quality of care for patients with fractures of the hip, only 30.

Validation of the Fracture Mobility Score against the Parker Mobility Score in hip fracture patients.

Introduction: The Parker Mobility Score has proven to be a valid and reliable measurement of hip fracture patient mobility. For hip fracture registries the Fracture Mobility Score is advised and used, although this score has never been validated. This study aims to validate the Fracture Mobility Score against the Parker Mobility Score.
