Abstract

Geriatric fracture programs (GFP) offer a multidisciplinary inpatient and outpatient scheme. We characterized the included patients in terms of length of stay during the GFP, intrahospital complications and follow-up outcomes (readmission and mortality). We then estimated the hospitalization- and complication-related costs during the GFP implementation. [Extracted from the article]
