Effect of the orthogeriatric co-management on older hip fracture patients with multimorbidity: a post-hoc exploratory subgroup analysis of a non-randomised controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hip fracture and multimorbidity represent significant health challenges for older people. Despite evidence that orthogeriatric co-management improves hip fracture management and patients' health outcomes, there is little evidence to understand its effectiveness for patients with multimorbidity. The study aimed to assess the effect of the orthogeriatric co-management care model on older hip fracture patients with multimorbidity.

Methods

This study was a post-hoc analysis of a recently completed trial. Patients were admitted to three urban hospitals and three suburban hospitals in Beijing, with diagnosed hip fracture. One urban hospital (intervention group) implemented the orthogeriatric co-management, while other hospitals (control group) continued orthopedics-led
