Berry SD, Daiello LA, Lee Y, et al. - In this research, the trends in hip fracture rates and post‐fracture mortality were described among 2.6 million newly admitted U.S. nursing home residents from 2007 to 2015, and to investigate if these trends could be explained by differences in resident characteristics.  Researchers distinguished newly admitted long‐stay (i.e., 100 days in the same facility) NH residents in each year (2007–2015). Part A diagnostic codes were applied to characterize hip fracture. They estimated follow‐up time from the index date until the first event of hospitalized hip fracture, Medicare disenrollment, death, or until one year. Applying poisson regression, rates of hip fracture for age and sex were adjusted. A recent slight rise was found in the incidence rates of hip fracture among nursing home residents that was at least partially explained by differences in resident characteristics over time.
