Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the relationship between the Parker Mobility Score (PMS) and hospital discharge outcomes, particularly for geriatric patients with hip fractures, focusing on whether the PMS can predict discharge disposition and hospital length of stay.
- A dual-center retrospective analysis included 649 patients aged 70 and older, revealing that the PMS significantly influenced both discharge destination and length of hospital stay, with an 82.1% accuracy in predicting discharge decisions.
- The findings suggest that incorporating PMS into discharge planning could improve efficiency and potentially shorten hospital stays for elderly patients recovering from hip fractures.

Aim: Since the introduction of shared electric scooters in Germany in June 2019, surgeons have been treating injuries caused by these devices.
Methods: In our Institution, we implemented the first registry to examine the pattern of injuries and to gather epidemiological data on persons injured while riding electric scooters. We conducted a prospective analysis of all patients treated in our Emergency Department for an injury sustained while riding an electric scooter between June 2019 and June 2020.
