Journal Article
Comparative analysis of geriatric hip fracture management outcomes in teaching and nonteaching hospitals in Jordan
2024
Overview
Hip fractures are common orthopedic injuries that have significant impacts on patients and healthcare systems. Previous studies have shown varying outcomes for hip fracture management in different settings, with diverse postoperative outcomes and complications. While teaching hospital settings have been investigated, no studies have specifically examined hip fracture outcomes in teaching hospitals in Jordan or the broader Middle East region. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate this important outcome. A cohort comprising 1268 patients who underwent hip fracture fixation from 2017 to 2020 was analyzed for nine distinct outcomes. These outcomes encompassed time to surgery, ICU admissions, perioperative hemoglobin levels, length of hospital stay, readmission rates, revision procedures, and mortality rates at three time points: in-hospital, at 6-months, and at 1-year post-surgery. The analysis of 1268 patients (616 in teaching hospitals, 652 in non-teaching hospitals) showed shorter mean time to surgery in teaching hospitals (2.2 days vs. 3.6 days,
p
< 0.01), higher ICU admissions (17% vs. 2.6%,
p
< 0.01), and more postoperative blood transfusions (40.3% vs. 12.1%,
p
< 0.01). In-hospital mortality rates were similar between groups (2.4% vs. 2.1%,
p
= 0.72), as were rates at 6-months (3.1% vs. 3.5%,
p
= 0.65) and 1-year post-surgery (3.7% vs. 3.7%,
p
= 0.96). Geriatric hip fracture patients in teaching hospitals have shorter surgery times, more ICU admissions, and higher postoperative blood transfusion rates. However, there are no significant differences in readmission rates, hospital stays, or mortality rates at various intervals.
