Greek fragility hip fracture registry 2024 annual report
Keywords:
Hip fracture audit; national registry; Greece, fragility fracture; neck of femur fractureAbstract
The Greek fragility hip fracture registry has been established since 2022 with the valuable involvement of many orthopaedic departments across the country. Its presence has significantly helped to create an enthusiastic team that aims to improve the health services that these patients receive in our country. The registry has helped to depict the present situation of the services that the patients with a fragility hip fracture receive in the Greek hospitals and also establish the first benchmarking of our system.
The present study is the annual report of the year 2024, the second full year that the registry runs. During this year two new orthopaedic departments have been added to the registry team, helping to raise the numbers of the collected patients to almost one thousand. The use of the minimum common data set, as suggested by the FFN global network, helped the Greek registry to collect important demographic, pre-injury status, fragility hip fracture, surgery and rehabilitation data for these patients. The length of stay of the patients during 2024 remained at the 10 days but the 30-day mortality has been slightly raised to 14.5% for this year.
