Ability of a Risk Prediction Tool to Stratify Quality and Cost for Older Patients With Operative Ankle Fractures

Conclusion: The Score for Trauma Triage in Geriatric and Middle-Aged tool is able to meaningfully stratify older patients with ankle fracture who require operative fixation regarding hospital quality metrics and cost. This information may allow for efficient targeted reductions in costs while optimizing outcomes. Level of Evidence: Prognostic Level III.
