Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this controlled before and after study is to evaluate a new patient pathway for patients 65 years and older who have suffered a fall injury. The main questions the study aims to answer are whether this preventive initiative with improved care coordination reduces risk of subsequent hip fractures, admittance to nursing homes or death. Researchers will compare two boroughs in Oslo who implemented the new patient pathway with the 13 other boroughs who did not reorganize their follow-up, but continued their care as usual.


Clinical Trial Description

The study is an evaluation of a new patient follow-up for fall prevention in Oslo with improvement of coordination of care for elderly at risk of fall injuries. The intervention were introduced to the boroughs of Nordstrand and Østensjø, which are compared to the other 13 boroughs of Oslo in this controlled before and after study. THE COHORT All persons 65 years and older in Oslo are included in Oslo Fall Cohort and we follow all cohort participants prospectively. OUTCOME VARIABLES - Hip fracture - Long term admittance to nursing home - Death TIMELINE The investigators have defined the following dates as the start of intervention: 1. Start of intervention in Nordstrand borough is set to January 1, 2015. 2. Start of intervention Østensjø borough is set to September 1, 2016. In the main analysis, fallers from the two intervention boroughs, Nordstrand and Østensjø, will be compared with fallers from the control boroughs during the intervention. Any differences between the intervention and control boroughs before the intervention started will be taken into account. Data on all participants are available from 2010, and the participants will be followed from January 2012 until December 2019. For each analysis, persons with a hip fracture or living in a nursing home at baseline will be excluded. The analysis in the evaluation is based on registry data and no analysis relating the intervention to the outcomes has been done before registration in clinicaltrials.gov. ;
