RELATION<br />
MORTALITY<br />
BETWEEN SURGEON VOLUME AND IN-HOSPITAL<br />
The effects from the logistic regression are pres<strong>en</strong>ted in Table 7.45 for in-hospital<br />
mortality. Without adjustm<strong>en</strong>t for case mix, an increase of 10% of the surgeon had no<br />
significant effect on the in-hospital mortality as the effect was -0.05% (-1.33%, +1.23%).<br />
After adjustm<strong>en</strong>t, the effect is increased but is still not significant at -0.68% (-2.05%,<br />
0.69%). The odds for mortality are doubled in case of male pati<strong>en</strong>t, they are slightly<br />
higher wh<strong>en</strong> age increased by 1 year and they are more than doubled by an increase of<br />
1 category in the Charlson in<strong>de</strong>x score.<br />

7.3.7 Discussion<br />
7.3.7.1 External validation of the <strong>de</strong>finition of the procedure<br />
According to the Dutch gui<strong>de</strong>lines on oste<strong>op</strong>orosis from 2002, there would have be<strong>en</strong><br />
15 290 pati<strong>en</strong>ts above 55 years for hip fracture hospitalized in the Netherlands in<br />
1999. 339 Consi<strong>de</strong>ring the number of persons of more than 55 years, if the same<br />
incid<strong>en</strong>ce was observed in Belgium, there would be 12 120 hospitalizations of pati<strong>en</strong>ts<br />
of more than 55 years, which is of course inferior to the 15 230 pati<strong>en</strong>ts hospitalized<br />
for hip fracture id<strong>en</strong>tified by the data extraction, all ages inclu<strong>de</strong>d.
