Changing trends in the mortality rate at 1-year post hip fracture - a systematic review.

CONCLUSION: There appears to be a consistent worldwide reduction in mortality at 1-year post hip fracture compared to previously published research. Globally, those which suffer hip fractures may currently be benefiting from the results of approximately 30 years of national registries, rigorous audit processes and international collaboration. The previously quoted mortality rates of 10% at 1-mo and 30% at 1-year may be outdated. PMID: 30918799 [PubMed]
