  • Five-year Clinical Outcome of the Clincal Pathway for Geriatric Hip Fracture

    ObjectiveTo introduce the clinical pathway for geriatric hip fracture regulated by our hospital and report the five-year outcomes after the implementation of the pathway. MethodsThe geriatric hip fracture patients treated between September 2003 and August 2012 were followed up. We did not implement the clinical pathway until January 2007. Statistical analysis was done to evaluate the effect of the clinical pathway on patient outcomes by comparing rate of complication, mortality, and length of hospital stay before and after the implementation of the clinical pathway. ResultsAfter the implementation of the pathway, the in-hospital mortality, one-year mortality and the rate of complication were significantly lower. Besides, the time from admission to operation and the total length of stay in hospital were obviously shortened. ConclusionThe use of clinical pathway for geriatric hip fracture can reduce the rate of complication and mortality, and shorten hospital stay, and the five-year outcomes after the implementation of the pathway are satisfying.
