title: A Community-Based Hip Fracture Registry: Population, Methods, and Outcomes.
abstract: Cases of hip fracture recorded from 1/2009 to 12/2011 were ascertained using the Kaiser Permanente Hip Fracture Registry. The registry collects information on patient, procedure, surgeon, facility, and surgical outcomes. The population (N = 12,562) was predominantly white, women, and older (≥ 75 years), and 32% had at least 5 comorbidities. The average length of follow-up was 1.1 years. Hemiarthroplasty was the most common procedure (33.1%). Most fractures were treated by medium-volume surgeons at high-volume facilities. The 90-day readmission rate was 22.1%, and the mortality rate was 12.3%.
