Effectiveness of a fall and fracture prevention pathway on hip fracture risk, need of permanent care and mortality: a controlled before-and-after study
Overall, the risk of later hip fracture was not significantly reduced in all registered fallers in the intervention boroughs, only in men. There was a significant decline in risk of admission to nursing homes in the intervention boroughs. These results suggest that the prevention pathway might have slowed down functional decline in the older Oslo population.
