The National Hip Fracture Database (NHFD) issued its latest report on Friday 9th September 2022. The research, which uses data from England and Wales, the research shows how current care ‘since COVID-19’ compares with the baseline of 2019 ‘before COVID-19
According to the study, services have typically been successful in getting patients out of bed the day following surgery (81% of patients in 2019 and 2021) and then bringing them back to their original residence (71% of patients in 2019 and 70% of patients in 2021).
Other findings have found that the efficiency with which patients undergo surgery and the degree to which the procedure complies with NICE's recommendations have declined more steadily and significantly (from 74% in 2019 to 71% in 2021).
