Discharge Disposition of Hip Fracture patients with Alzheimer’s Dementia

Alzheimer's dementia (AD) patients have a higher incidence of hip fractures compared to other older adults. Dementia and hip fractures are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. There has been evidence to show that there may be a regional diversity in healthcare expenditures and practices that may affect the mortality of these patients, but there are little data on how determinants affect hospitalization outcomes in AD admitted with hip fractures.
