Popis: Objectives: The aim of this study is to investigate the incidence of second hip fractures after a previous hip fracture and subsequent mortality in Chinese men and women. Methods: Data of patients aged 65 years or above with operatively treated hip fracture in the years 2000–2011 in Hong Kong were retrieved from Hospital Authority clinical database. During the follow-up period, second contralateral operatively treated hip fractures were identified. The incidence of a second fracture was determined using survival analysis. Results: A total of 2399 second hip fractures were identified. The cumulative incidence of a second fracture was 1.24% at 1 year and 4.42% at 5 years with 60% of second fractures occurring within 4 years after the initial fracture. In cox regression model, a higher incidence was observed as age increased (hazard ratio [HR], 1.08; P
