Abstract
In the year 1982,112 hip fractures - cervical and trochanteric - were recorded in residents of Malmö after having been admitted to hospitals. During that same year, a total of 463 hip fractures occurred in the city. The risk of sustanining a hip fracture was 11 times greater in hospital patients aged 50 years or more than in persons of the same age who had not been admitted to hospitals.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
