Description

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
