Evaluating the 48-hour Benchmark for Surgery: The Canadian Collaborative Study of Hip Fractures
EF 2013-14
Résumé
Canada's health ministers have adopted 48 hours after admission as a benchmark for provision of hip fracture surgery. We propose to compare health outcomes between patients treated within and beyond the benchmark period. Postoperative complications and in-hospital deaths will be examined among patients 65 years of age or older who suffered a first-time hip fracture in the community and who were admitted to Canadian acute care hospitals for surgery between 2003 and 2012. We will describe times the results of surgery for hospitals across the entire country using a standardized methodology for defining index admission and care episodes. We will identify groups of patients who would benefit from accelerated access to hip fracture surgery in terms of fewer complications and deaths.
