Abstract
Multidisciplinary approaches such as fracture liaison services (FLS) have been introduced in some countries to reduce medical complications and secondary fractures in patients with fragility hip fracture. We aimed to investigate outcomes in patients with fragility hip fracture following the introduction of FLS. Patients > 50 years old who experienced fragility hip fractures between January 1, 2015 and December 31, 2017 were enrolled, and divided into a control group (without FLS; 94 patients) and FLS group (373 patients). We found that the time from injury to surgery decreased significantly from 2.42 to 1.83 days (p = 0.003), the proportion of patients who underwent surgery within 36 h of injury increased significantly (p = 0.014), and the number of cases with complications after admission decreased significantly (p = 0.004) in the FLS group. Patients with a Barthel index ≥ 80 were more common in the FLS than the control group at 6 , 12, and 24 months following injury (p = 0.046 , 0.018, and 0.048, respectively). Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed the factors associated with postoperative complications and death within 12 or 24 months after injury. Our results indicate that FLS contributed to earlier recovery, rehabilitation following surgery and rehabilitation of medical complications following admission; improved patient activity; and decreased secondary hip fractures.
