“…It is possible that the fear of contagion with COVID-19 in hospitals led the elderly and their relatives to take extreme precautions to prevent accidents at home.

The authors find a significant decrease in the incidence of hip fractures, a non-significant reduction in mortality, lethality, and costs, as well as a significant reduction in the length of hospital stay.…”
