Tracking care and outcomes for older adults with hip fracture across GIOG centers

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is a multicenter prospective cohort registry enrolling about 7,000 patients over a 5-year period with a 120-day follow-up for each participant. Participating orthopedic and orthogeriatric units will submit clinical and management data continuously or via a lower-intensity one-month annual snapshot, according to their chosen level of participation. Collected data will be compared across centers to identify practices associated with better outcomes and to guide adoption of orthogeriatric best practices. The protocol is designed to support participation by non-university hospitals through a reduced-data option while preserving longitudinal benchmarking.
