Description
AimsFracture laterality is routinely recorded in large hip fracture registries for administrative purposes, yet rarely evaluated as a prognostic variable. We aimed to test whether laterality is independently associated with short-term outcomes after hip fracture surgery.MethodsThis retrospective cohort study used a regional, prefecture-wide administrative database based on Japan’s Diagnosis Procedure Combination system.
