In the UK, multidisciplinary teamwork for patients with hip fracture has been shown to reduce mortality and improves health-related quality of life for patients, while also reducing hospital bed days and associated healthcare costs. However, despite rapidly increasing numbers of fragility fractures, multidisciplinary shared care is rare in low- and middle-income countries around the world. The HIPCARE trial will test the introduction of multidisciplinary care pathways in five low- and middle-income countries in South and Southeast Asia, with the aim to improve patients' quality of life and reduce healthcare costs.
在英国，髋部骨折患者的多学科团队协作已被证明可以降低死亡率，提高患者的健康相关生活质量，同时减少住院天数和相关医疗保健成本。然而，尽管脆弱性骨折的数量迅速增加，但在全球低中等收入国家，多学科共享护理仍然很少见。HIPCARE 试验将在南亚和东南亚的五个低中等收入国家测试多学科护理路径的引入，目的是提高患者的生活质量并降低医疗保健成本。
