TL;DR
The PPS did not have a significant long-term impact on hip fracture outcome, and post-hospital care may be of crucial importance to the future quality of life of hip fracture patients.
Abstract
The PPS did not have a significant long-term impact on hip fracture outcome. Post-hospital care may be of crucial importance to the future quality of life of hip fracture patients.

A retrospective analysis of the outcomes in 360 patients with fractures of the hip showed return to preinjury ambulatory status in 51 per cent and factors that increased the probability of death and non-ambulation included advanced age, preoperative presence of cerebral dysfunction, and male sex.

The hypothesis that since the implementation of the prospective payment system (PPS), elderly patients hospitalized for hip fractures receive shorter, less care-intensive hospitalizations and are more frequently institutionalized is tested.

The authors conclude that in its present form, the DRG system may systematically undercompensate hospitals for treating the frail elderly and result in attempts by some hospitals to reduce or avoid altogether programs in geriatric medicine and admissions of frail elderly persons.
