Influenza illness and hip fracture hospitalizations in nursing home residents: are they related?
In this retrospective cohort study, the investigators evaluated the association between influenza and hip fracture hospitalizations in long-stay (LS) nursing home (NH) residents. The study authors found that influenza like illness (ILI) hospitalizations were associated with a 13% average increase in hip fracture hospitalization risk. In a given NH week, an increase in the number ILI hospitalizations from none to two was associated with an approximate one percentage point increase in hip fracture hospitalization risk.
