Berry SD, Daiello LA, Lee Y, et al. - In the present study, the researchers sought to characterize trends in hip fracture rates and postfracture mortality among 2.6 million newly admitted US nursing home residents from 2007 to 2015, and to ascertain if these trends could be explained by differences in resident characteristics. The data on Medicare claims were linked to the Minimum Data Set (MDS), a clinical assessment carried out on a quarterly basis on all nursing home residents. Newly admitted long‐stay (ie, 100 days in the same facility) nursing home residents were identified in each year (2007–2015). Using Medicare Part A diagnostic codes, hip fracture was defined. Data reported that the number of newly admitted nursing home residents ranged from 324,508 in 2007 to 257,350 in 2015. A recent slight rise in incidence levels of hip fracture among nursing home residents was reported, which was at least partially explained by variations in resident characteristics over time.
