Osteoporosis and hip fractures : 1995-2000 /

Hip fracture is the most adverse outcome of osteoporosis. Few surveillance sources exist to estimate the extent of the burden of illness of osteoporosis in Illinois. Because hip fractures are an important proxy measure for the existence of osteoporosis, the Illinois Health Care Cost Containment Council examined hospital use, treatment and outcome measures for hip fracture patients during the years 1995 through 2000. Osteoporosis, as the underlying cause of hip fracture hospitalizations, is investigated for results of treatment and disposition at discharge. In the year 1995, 12,637, discharges for hip fracture patients were reported by Illinois hospitals. In contrast, in the year 2000, 12,311, discharges for hip fracture patients were reported by Illinois hospitals. This study will provide a descriptive analysis of hospital reported discharges during this six-year period, focusing on patient age and gender, cause of injury, treatments, outcomes, billed charges and expected payment source. A significant percentage of hip fractures occurred in people aged 65 and above. Hip fracture rates per thousand persons in females exceeded males in every age group in the study. Females accounted for approximately 75% of all hip fracture discharges during the study period. Facility charges for hip fracture cases in 1995 were over $213.5 million. Comparable charges in 2000 exceeded $270 million. Over 80% of patients in 2000 were discharged to another health care facility for additional care. A review of pathological fractures and reported cases of diagnosed osteoporosis are included to round out the study.
