Methodist Health System
The primary objective of this study is to establish a data repository that will be permissive of quality improvement studies/observations specific to postoperative mortality outcomes for geriatric patients with orthopedic injuries based on Orthopedic Hip Frailty Score and preoperative cardiac clearance predictors.
It is typically a result of advanced aging. Among geriatric patients suffering from hip fractures, frailty is common and is associated with an increased risk of postoperative complications and morbidity with hip fracture surgery. Developed by the Swedish National Quality Registry, the Orthopedic Hip Frailty Score aims to predict short-term postoperative mortality in geriatric patients with hip fractures in order to improve patient outcomes and better allocate resources.
