The burden of inpatient care for diabetic and non-diabetic patients with osteoporotic hip fractures —does it differ? An analysis of patients recruited into a fracture liaison service in Southeast Asia

ConclusionsDiabetes was notindependently associated with LOHS in patients undergoing hip fracture surgery. Aggregate post-operative complications did not differ between diabetics and non-diabetics. TTO and occurrence of post-operative complications significantly affected LOHS. TTO correlated with post-complications development. Surgery should be expeditiously done in both diabetics and non-diabetics to avoid the development of post-operative complications and to prevent prolonged hospital stay.
