Chinese Hospital Hip Fracture Care Audit, 2016-2018

From 2016 to 2018, a retrospective audit of 2,689 patients aged 60+ who received hip fracture surgery in a Chinese tertiary hospital. The dataset benchmarks postoperative care against seven UK Fracture Liaison Service Key Performance Indicators. It was authored by Yuan Yuan and shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Benchmarking inpatient and post-discharge care metrics against international standards based on the described KPIs.
• Analyzing the decline in patient follow-up adherence over time based on the reported 90-day, 12-16 week, and 12-month rates.
• Studying the relationship between treatment initiation and secondary fracture incidence based on the reported high rates (11.0–13.4%).
• Comparing hospital-centric versus integrated community-based care models for fracture prevention based on the international comparison described.

Strengths

• Audit covers 2,689 patient records from a three-year period (2016-2018).
• Reports specific, validated performance metrics, such as 97.1% BMD screening and 94.0% medication initiation prior to discharge.
• Provides explicit international benchmarking within a 'cascade of care' framework.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, limiting suitability assessment.
• Data is from a single hospital's orthogeriatric co-managed ward, which may limit generalizability.
• The dataset is very small (20.0 KB), suggesting limited scope or summary-level data.
