Abstract

In this thesis, clinical and functional outcomes of a large cohort of hip fracture patients are described, with regards to anemia, blood transfusion, concomitant fractures, loss of mobility and place of residence. Secondly, risk factors for poor outcome, both in a clinical and a functional perspective were identified. Finally, specific risk scores for delirium and discharge to an alternative location have been developed and validated.
