Introduction

When treating a patient admitted with hip fracture it is useful to have a simple scoring system to predict outcomes, based on admission clerking and routine investigations. The Nottingham Hip Fracture Score (NHFS) is one such measure. Its use has been described by Wiles et al (Br J. Anaes. Jan. 2001) for risk stratification in predicting 30-day and 1-year mortality.

Objective

Our aim was to use the hip fracture database at Peterborough City Hospital, UK to conduct an independent validation study of the NHFS stratification system.
