Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

An observational study using the information records at the Hospital Regional Rafael Hernandez, in Chiriqui, Panama, that will help to analyze the epidemiology and early treatments results of hip fracture patients treated in this institution.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Hip fractures are a major public health concern due to increasing ageing of the population, rising costs and associated morbidity and mortality. The problem is more serious in developing countries, because of limited economic and technical resources available. The aim of the following study is to analyze the epidemiology and early treatment results of hip fracture patients treated in our unit.

This study will be done at the Hospital Rafael Hernandez Regional Hospital, a third level facility located in the province of Chiriqui, Republic of Panama. It is a retrospective observational study.

For this the study will use the hospital records, including imaging studies were reviewed, including the Singh Index, and all relevant data will be analyzed with SPSS 21 software.
