From page 1...
... The committee recommends that explicit attention be given to four methodologic issues in hip fracture effectiveness research. First, currently available health and functional status measures must be synthesized and "disease-specific" measures developed for the study of hip fracture risk and prognosis.

... management, and other treatment issues that predict very high costs of care. Effectiveness research on hip fracture treatment alternatives should be aimed at developing scientifically based indications to determine which patients should have open or closed reduction with internal fixation, prosthetic replacement of the femoral head, or primary total hip replacement.
