Different approaches towards geriatric trauma care for hip fracture patients: an inter-hospital comparison.

Mortality, major complications, HLOS and the amount of secondary surgical interventions showed no differences between both hospitals. This inter-hospital comparison of two types of geriatric care models showed no outcome that favours one specific geriatric care model over another. This provides opportunities for future studies to get a better understanding of what specific factors of geriatric care models contribute most to an improvement in the treatment of this patient population and decide which approach is most cost effective.
