Relationship between socioeconomic status and mortality after femur fracture in a Korean population aged 65 years and older Nationwide retrospective cohort study

摘要

Femur fracture is an emerging public health concern in aging societies, owing to the substantially high morbidity and mortality. Because the recent increase in femur fracture incidence in Asian populations is comparable to that in the West, it is necessary to investigate the association between socioeconomic status (SES) and mortality after femur fracture in developed Asian societies.
