Objective To investigate the effectiveness of multidisciplinary doctor-nurse collaboration team on the perioperation management of geriatric patients with hip fractures.Methods The clinical data of 489 geriatric patients with hip fractures (femoral neck fracture and intertrochanteric fracture) between January 1st 2016 and January 1st 2018 was retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 279 patients were treated with the multidisciplinary doctor-nurse collaboration care (observation group) and 210 patients were treated with the conventional therapeutics and nursing care (control group). There was no significant difference in gender, age, cause of injury, type and classification of fracture, the interval between injury and admission, and Charlson index between the two groups (P>0.05). The surgery rates, time from hospitalization to operation, length of stay, and the incidences of perioperative complications were compared between the two groups.Results The surgery rate was 90.32% (252/279) in observation group and 80.48% (169/210) in control group, showing significant difference between the two groups (χ2=9.703, P=0.002). The time from hospitalization to operation and length of stay in observation group [(5.39±2.47), (10.56±3.76) days] were significant shorter than those in control group [(6.13±2.79), (12.27±3.11) days] (t=−3.075, P=0.002; t=−5.330, P=0.000). The incidence of respiratory complications was 46.15% in control group and 30.56% in observation group; the incidence of cardiovascular system complications was 69.23% in control group and 51.19% in observation group; the incidence of cerebrovascular system complications was 20.12% in control group and 11.11% in observation group; the incidence of deep venous thrombosis was 40.24% in control group and 25.40% in observation group. The incidences of perioperative complications were significantly lower in observation group than in control group (P<0.05).Conclusion Multidisciplinary doctor-nurse collaboration team is conducive not only to improve the surgery rates, but also to reduce perioperative complications as well as shorten the length of stay and preoperative waiting time.
