In this study, we aimed to determine whether designation as a
major trauma centre (MTC) affects the quality of care for patients
with a fracture of the hip. All patients in the United Kingdom National Hip Fracture Database,
between April 2010 and December 2013, were included. The indicators
of quality that were recorded included the time to arrival on an
orthopaedic ward, to review by a geriatrician, and to operation.
The clinical outcomes were the development of a pressure sore, discharge
home, length of stay, in-hospital mortality, and re-operation within
30 days. Aims
