This report uses linked National Integrated Health Services Information data to describe the characteristics of a cohort of first hip fracture patients, their discharge pathway and rate of readmission, second hip fracture and mortality following hip fracture.
The data are presented for the reference period between 1 July 2013 and 30 June 2017, which establishes a baseline that will allow future population monitoring work on hip fracture incidence, management and outcomes.
