The performance of the risk model used by the NHFD was compared with the widely-used Nottingham Hip Fracture Score. METHODS Data from 94 hospitals on patients aged 60 to 110 who had hip fracture surgery between May 2...
متن کاملPopulation-based cohort study comparing 30- and 90-day institutional mortality rates after colorectal surgery
