“…Our study is unique in that it allows a comparison of trends over a period of 11 years and within one urban region with a sizeable older population. Most large studies involving thousands of fractures are either multicentre [7,11,12,[14][15][16]18] or retrospective studies At ages less than 60 years, males with hip fractures (68%) outnumbered females (p<0.001) [7-9, 14-16, 18]. Many of these large studies fail to gather meaningful demographic and social information.…”

“…While national registries can provide an abundance of information, registries may be burdened with inaccuracies associated with data input [13]. Generally, the time frame for most of these studies is much shorter [15,16,19,20,21]. The group of patients in this study is one of the largest dealing with proximal femur fractures and treatment in one department [8,[22][23][24][25][26][27][28].…”

“…Most single-centre studies are short and include a relatively small number of fractures [8][9][10]. Multicentre studies often involve more than a thousand patients with hip fractures [7,[11][12][13][14][15][16], but they concentrate only on This article is original, it is not under consideration by another journal, and it has not been previously published. None of the authors or the departments with which they are affiliated has received something of value from a commercial or other party related directly or indirectly to the subject of this article.…”

This study examines the epidemiological data of patients with hip fractures from 1997-2007. Adult patients treated for hip fracture between the years 1997-2007 were included in the study. Retrospective statistical assessment of continually gathered data focussed on epidemiology and demographics. The study involved 3,683 patients (2,678 women and 1,005 men). Patients older than 70 years accounted for 82% of all cases. There were 2.7 times more women; in patients younger than 60 years men significantly outnumbered women (p < 0.001). The mean patient age was 77.9 years (SD ± 12.6; women, 80.3 years; men, 71.5 years). There was a slight increase in the average age in both sexes. Trochanteric fractures accounted for 54.7% and femoral neck fractures accounted for 45.3% of fractures. The ratio of men to women was the same in femoral neck (AO-31B) and trochanteric (AO-31A) fractures. The average year-to-year increase in the number of fractures was 5.9%. For femoral neck fractures (AO-31B), there was a statistically insignificant increase in the number of fractures (p = 0.63); for intertrochanteric factures (AO-31A3) there was a statistically insignificant decrease (p = 0.65). There was an increase in the number of hip fractures resulting in a significant increase in pertrochanteric fractures (AO-31A1+2) (p < 0.001). The ratio of trochanteric to neck fractures increased from 0.99 to 1.53. Continual monitoring of patients with hip fracture offers data which allows comparisons between regions and countries. There has been a continual increase in the number of patients with hip fractures.

“…The sample survey used a pseudonymization service as an independent trust agency that pseudonymizes identifying information independent of the research team so that it is possible to carry out a person-related linkage without identifying features [ 33 , 34 ]. Another study on evaluating the progress of femoral neck fractures combined external quality management data with data provided by a statutory health insurer and data collected by the Medical Service of the Health Insurance Funds (Medizinischer Dienst der Krankenversicherung, MDK) [ 35 , 36 ]. The data were also linked and evaluated by an external body [ 35 , 36 ].…”

Research based on health insurance data has a long tradition in Germany. By contrast, data linkage of survey data with such claims data is a relatively new field of research with high potential. Data linkage opens up new opportunities for analyses in the field of health services research and public health. Germany has comprehensive rules and regulations of data protection that have to be followed. Therefore, a written informed consent is needed for individual data linkage. Additionally, the health system is characterized by heterogeneity of health insurance. The lidA-living at work-study is a cohort study on work, age and health, which linked survey data with claims data of a large number of statutory health insurance data. All health insurance funds were contacted, of whom a written consent was given. This paper will give an overview of individual data linkage of survey data with German claims data on the example of the lidA-study results. The challenges and limitations of data linkage will be presented. Despite heterogeneity, such kind of studies is possible with a negligibly small influence of bias. The experience we gain in lidA will be shown and provide important insights for other studies focusing on data linkage.
