Prognostic factors for the outcome after hip fracture can only be obtained by analyzing data from the hospital stay and the post-hospital setting as well. Chances of survival can be significantly improved by rehabilitative care.

There is no threshold for good results. In general there is an inverse relationship between volume and outcome. High volume, though, is not a substitute for good results. It is not possible to infer good quality from high volume alone. Small-volume departments should document quality of care and results thoroughly.
