Background: Hip fractures represent a serious public health problem with a high burden of mortality, morbidity, and resource use. Co-management has proven to enhance the clinical outcomes of hip fracture patients hospitalized in various settings.

Aim: This study aims to evaluate whether the previously observed benefits of co-management can be achieved when such a program is implemented in a rural-based district hospital.

Objectives: The study aimed to explore the effects of post-discharge physical exercise combined with co-managed care on health the outcomes of older patients with hip fracture.

Methods: Based on a completed non-randomised controlled trial which evaluated a co-managed care of patients aged 65 years and above with hip fracture, provided by orthopedists and geriatricians within an acute setting, a retrospective post-hoc factorial analysis was further conducted. The analysis observed the health outcomes of older patients with post-discharge physical exercise combined with co-managed care within hospitals compared to those had either post-discharge physical exercise or co-managed care.

Background: Hip fracture and multimorbidity represent significant health challenges for older people. Despite evidence that orthogeriatric co-management improves hip fracture management and patients' health outcomes, there is little evidence to understand its effectiveness for patients with multimorbidity. The study aimed to assess the effect of the orthogeriatric co-management care model on older hip fracture patients with multimorbidity.

Article Synopsis
  • The study evaluates the effects of the Fast Access to Surgery in Emergency (FASE) strategy on multidisciplinary team workflows and clinical outcomes for geriatric patients with femoral neck fractures (FNF).
  • A retrospective analysis of 344 patients highlighted that while the time in the emergency department increased under FASE, the time to surgery and overall hospital stay significantly decreased, along with improved blood management.
  • Despite these positive changes, the study found no significant differences in overall clinical outcomes, such as mortality rates or postoperative complications, between the FASE and control groups.
