Who benefits from orthogeriatric treatment? Results from the Trondheim hip-fracture trial
BMC Geriatr. 2016 Feb 19;16(1):49397 hip fractures patients from the Trondheim Hip Fracture Trial were included in this post-hoc analysis. Patients were randomized to receive either comprehensive geriatric care or traditional orthopaedic care post treatment. The present analysis was conducted in order to determine if the benefits observed with comprehensive geriatric treatment seen in the Trondheim trial held true when analyses based on several subgroups were conducted (age, gender, type of fracture, and prefracture functional capacity). The findings of this publication displayed that the benefits of comprehensive geriatric care are sustained in each subgroup in at least one of the following: Barthel Index scores, the Nottingham Extended ADL Scale scores, Mini-Mental Status examination scores, and Short Physical Performance Battery scores.However, the subgroup analyses indicated that comprehensive geriatric care was found to be most beneficial in patient subgroups that were 70-79, female, had intra-capsular fractures, or had greater prefracture activities of daily living.
