A microcomputer was used for patient record management and statistical analysis to study prospectively an elderly female population with femoral neck fracture. Of 150 patients studied, 58% presented with a cervical fracture and 42% with a trochanteric fracture. The patients with trochanteric fracture were significantly older than the patients with cervical fracture (P less than 0.001), required a longer stay in hospital (P less than 0.01) and returned to their previous environment less frequently. The proportion of trochanteric fractures increased with age. In view of the ageing population and the rising incidence of femoral neck fracture, these findings have important implications for the future allocation of hospital resources.
使用一台微型计算机进行患者记录管理和统计分析，对老年女性股骨颈骨折患者进行前瞻性研究。在研究的150例患者中，58%为颈椎骨折，42%为转子间骨折。转子间骨折患者比颈椎骨折患者年龄显著更大（P<0.001），住院时间更长（P<0.01），回到先前环境的频率更低。转子间骨折的比例随年龄增加。鉴于人口老龄化和股骨颈骨折发病率上升，这些发现对未来医院资源的分配具有重要意义。
