TL;DR
It is possible to adjust routine national HES data to take account of multiple episodes within a single admission of hip fracture, and these methods should be applied to national comparative indicators for hip fracture admission and deaths.
Abstract
It is possible to adjust routine national HES data to take account of multiple episodes within a single admission. These methods should be applied to national comparative indicators for hip fracture admission and deaths. Hip fracture rates continue to rise in those aged over 70 years. There may be a cohort effect with those born after 1925 showing stable rates which needs further investigation.

Investigating differences between hospitals in clinical management of patients admitted with fractured hip found that lower mortality may be associated with the cumulative effects of several aspects of the organisation of treatment and the management of fracture of the hip, including thromboembolic pharmaceutical prophylaxis, antibiotic prophYLaxis, and early mobilisation.

Process measures based on the results of randomised controlled trials were found to be able to detect relevant differences between hospitals that would not be identified by comparing hospital specific mortality, which is an insensitive indicator of the quality of care.

Hip fractures were twice as prevalent in females as in males and the incidence was found to double for each 5-year increment in age, and the percentage of femoral neck fractures decreased with age in females but was constant in males.

Current data from this population show decreased incidence rates within 10% of the goals outlined in "Healthy People 2000," especially among women, but a better understanding of the reasons for the decline of hip fracture incidence may provide the basis for more focused interventions in similar populations.

A time-series data analysis of the incidence of hip fracture during the 12-year period revealed a linear and significant (p < 0.001) trend to increase, but only in males, with an annual increasing rate of 3.62 per 100,000 person-years.

The age-corrected incidence of hip fracture in the city of Kuala Lumpur and the surrounding districts has increased from 1981 to 0.7 per 1,000 population in 1989, and the fracture incidence and woman/man ratio were substantially lower than has been reported from developed countries.

The number of hip fractures in women 65 yr of age and over increased from 3416 in 1972 to 8075 in 1987 and this increase can only in part be explained by the increase in the proportion of aged people in the Dutch population.
