Background:
Since 2014, hospitals with ortho-geriatric fracture centres could be certified as AltersTraumaZentrum DGU® in Germany. To measure the quality of treatment in these centres, a geriatric trauma registry (AltersTraumaRegister DGU®) was established.
Objectives:
The aim of this work was to report the results of the pilot phase of the AltersTraumaRegister DGU® from the year 2015.
Materials And Methods:
Included were 118 patients >70 years with hip fracture or implant-related femoral fractures. Apart from other parameters, the point of surgery, initiation of anti-osteoporotic treatment and the EQ-5D one week post-surgery was measured.
Results:
Surgery was performed in 87% of patients within 24 h. Specific osteoporotic therapy could be increased from 4 to 63 patients. The EQ-5D was strongly restricted to one week post-surgery.
Conclusion:
Based on the timing of surgery and anti-osteoporotic therapy, the treatment seems to be successful in the ortho-geriatric fracture centres. For a better evaluation of treatment quality in the AltersTraumaZentren DGU®, implementation of follow-up examinations in the AltersTraumaRegister DGU® is essential.
