Orthogeriatric co-management and incident nursing home admissions in older patients with fragility fractures other than the hip—a retrospective cohort study using insurance claims data from Germany
OGCM went along with a reduced probability of NH admissions in geriatric patients with humerus and vertebral fractures but showed no statistically significant benefit for forearm or pelvic fractures. The results highlight the need for targeted OGCM strategies based on fracture type and patient demographics to optimize outcomes in this vulnerable population.
