Key Words Isolated hip fractures; Admitting service; Trauma center; Time to surgery; American Society of Anesthesiologists score; Preoperative consultations
Core Tip We evaluated 2094 hip fracture patients admitted for surgery to a level 1 trauma center over a 5-year period. Patients were stratified based on the admitting service, either trauma or medical. After a propensity score matching comparison of 66 patients in each group it was revealed that there was no difference in outcomes. Predictors of a prolonged hospital length of stay were increased American Society of Anesthesiology score and delayed time to surgery. Predictors of mortality were increased American Society of Anesthesiology score and increased age. The health condition of the patient, but not the admitting service, was the defining factor for management and outcomes.
