Estimated expenditures for hip fractures using merged healthcare insurance data for individuals aged ≥ 75 years and long-term care insurance claims data in Japan

Further studies are needed that include healthcare claims data at both DPC/PDPS and non-DPC/PDPS hospitals to capture the lifelong course of long-term care required post-hip fracture.
