Different approaches towards geriatric trauma care for hip fracture patients: an inter-hospital comparison
2019
Purpose
Hip fractures in geriatric patients have high morbidity and mortality rates. The implementation of a multidisciplinary geriatric care pathway (GCP) may improve treatment for this patient population. This study focusses on two level II hospitals with a different treatment protocols. A comparison was made between a multidisciplinary GCP and extensive standard care with a focus on geriatric hip fracture patients to assess if a multidisciplinary GCP leads to lower mortality and morbidity.
