Mortality Prediction in Hip Fracture Patients: Physician Assessment Versus Prognostic Models
Conclusions:
In this study, prognostic models and physicians demonstrated similar discriminating abilities when predicting mortality in hip fracture patients. Although physicians overestimated mortality, they were better at identifying high-risk patients and at predicting long-term mortality.
Level of Evidence:
Prognostic Level II. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.
