Description
Ghada Elhadari and Hani Mowafi look at emergency visits that came before hip breaks in older adults, in a study from two thousand twenty-six. Records covered the United States from two thousand sixteen onward. The team counted how many hip-break cases had an emergency visit in the prior year.
More than a third of cases had such a visit. The share rose with age, from the youngest old group to those aged eighty-five and up. Shares also varied a bit by sex, background, and region, with the Midwest highest. The authors say these visits may offer a chance to spot frail adults sooner.
