| Age (in years), sex, the days from injury to surgery, and the rate at which surgery occurred within 36 hours from injury, number and rate of cases that had undergone any surgery, and average hospital stay (days) were recorded. Additionally, comorbidity at surgery (as classified in our previous study: hypertension, cardiovascular disease, pulmonary disease, renal disease, diabetes, cerebrovascular disease, digestive disease), complications newly occurring after admission, including those that involved worsening of a comorbidity, and hip fracture on the opposite side within 12 months and within 24 months after the first hip fracture were also investigated. We also examined the rate of taking anti-osteoporosis medicine, activities of daily living as evaluated by the Barthel index (BI) , and the rate of the patients whose BI was 80 and more, which was considered as indicator of independent daily activity. These parameters were evaluated at the time before injury, and 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, and 24 months after their injury. Moreover, mortality was examined within 1 month, 12 months, and 24 months after their injury, respectively. In terms of taking anti-osteoporosis medicine and activity of daily living as evaluated by the BI, the patients who died and who could not be traced were excluded from the analysis at each time-point. These data were obtained from medical records and telephone calls or by mail to the patients or their family, by a specialized liaison nurse qualified by the Japan Osteoporosis Society. | — |
