The hospital discharge rate for the period 1977–1981 in a population of 1.08 million was 1.91 per 1000 inhabitants for hip fractures and 3.89 for other fractures (skull fractures excluded). Discharges for fractures constituted 4.3 per cent of the discharges from the somatic hospitals. Hip fracture consumed one fourth of all somatic hospital bed-days for the oldest patients.Downloads
