| Popis: | Objective To determine the incidence of hospital readmission in a geriatric hip fracture population within 90 days. Methods Analysis of patients aged ≥60 years presenting with a fragility fracture of the hip from a prospective geriatric hip fracture program registry was performed. Demographics, diagnoses, treatments, complications, hospital events, and readmission for any cause within 30 and 90 days were collected. Readmission events were categorized as defined by Bundled Care Payment Initiative (BCPI)/Care for Joint Replacement payment model. Results The population included 305 patients. All-cause readmission at 30 and 90 days was 11.5% and 19.7%, respectively. Surgical site infection or prosthesis failure accounted for 2.6% of 90 days readmissions. Application of the BCPI rules identified 44 of 60 readmitted patients (73.3%) with causes attributable to the surgical event: medical (0.7%), hospital (12.1%), and mechanical (2.6%). Death within 30 days was the largest contributor to hospital-related events. Conclusions This study identified a 90-day readmission rate of nearly 20% in patients with geriatric fragility fractures. Application of the BCPI definitions currently used in the Care for Joint Replacement payment model will result in more readmissions being attributed to the index surgical event than classically considered. If bundled payment models remain the future, further investigation of this population's risk factors for readmission is needed in light of these findings. Level of evidence Prognostic and Epidemiological Level II. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence. |
