Association of Fall Risk Scores With 30-Day Return to Hospital Rates in Older Adults Following a Hip Fracture: A Retrospective Single-Center Analysis of a Quality Improvement Database

High fall risk scores on the JHFRAT were not significantly associated with 30-day returns to the hospital among admissions aged 75 and older with a diagnosis of hip fracture in the hospital we studied. Limitations include the single-center design, potential variability in fall risk scoring due to nurse training differences, and a lack of information on social and post-discharge factors. Additional analyses in larger, multicenter, and more diverse populations are needed to explore additional factors that are associated with hospital returns in this population.
