Gitajn IL, et al. - Researchers here aim to evaluate mortality after discharge in geriatric fracture patients whose lower extremity weight-bearing is restricted. In this work, prescribed weight-bearing status in geriatric patients seems to have no statistically significant association with mortality after discharge, when controlling for age, sex, body mass index, medical comorbidities, Injury Severity Scale (ISS), mechanism of injury, nonoperative treatment and admission GCS. When the analysis is restricted to operative injuries only, the findings remain valid.
