Description:Help on this term

Re-operation of hip fracture patients within 30-day follow-up.

Rationale:Help on this term

Hip fracture re-operations substantially increase the burden of hip fractures on society and the individual, and are potentially preventable (Luthje 2014).

Collection and usage attributes

Computation description:Help on this term

The numerator includes patients with a hip fracture requiring re-operation within 30 days following admission for the acute hip fracture episode of care. Include patients with any of the following procedures:

  • reduction of dislocated prosthesis
  • washout or debridement
  • implant removal
  • revision of internal fixation
  • conversion to hemiarthroplasty
  • conversion to total hip replacement
  • girdlestone/excision arthroplasty
  • periprosthetic fracture.

Include only patients who were followed up at 30 days. The 30 days should be calculated from the Episode of admitted patient care—admission date, DDMMYYYY, from the initial episode for the definitive treatment of the hip fracture.

Note that re-operation may be to the hospital at which the patient had surgery for their hip fracture, or to another hospital. This relies on linked data and/or the use of a unique identifier preferably across a geographic region at which patients are likely to re-present (for example, a Local Hospital Network).

Both the numerator and the denominator exclude patients who died during the hip fracture episode, that is, where Episode of admitted patient care—separation mode, code N = 8 Died) or were deceased at the 30-day follow-up.

Computation:Help on this term

(Numerator ÷ denominator) x 100

Numerator:Help on this term

Number of patients with a hip fracture requiring re-operation within 30 days from admission for the acute hip fracture episode of care.

Denominator:Help on this term

Number of patients admitted to hospital with a hip fracture in a period that is at least 30 days prior to the period for which re-operations are being counted.

Comments:Help on this term

For hospitals collecting the Australian and New Zealand Hip Fracture Registry (ANZHFR) data set (ANZHFR Steering Group 2013), the variable Re-operation within 30-day follow-up can be used for the numerator of this indicator.
