Abstract
The Standardization Audit of Hip Fracture in Europe (SAHFE) project aims to encourage centres in Europe to participate in hip fracture audit. It defines a data set consisting of a core of 34 questions which includes outcome measures at 120 days from injury. In addition there is a larger number of optional questions. It is envisaged that each participating centre will collect and analyse its own data, with national centres to provide comparative data. Because the data is standardised, international comparisons can be made, thereby assisting in defining the optimal method of treatment and rehabilitation for this common condition.Keywords
