Holt et al reported predictive models for mortality following hip fracture. One model is for 30-day mortality and a second model is for 120-day mortality. The authors are from the Scottish Hip Fracture Audit Healthcare Information Group in Edinburgh.
Patient selection: age >= 50 years with hip fracture
Parameters:
(1) age in years
(2) ASA status
(3) gender
(4) pre-fracture residence
(5) pre-fracture mobility
(6) type of fracture
