To examine the association of patient-related factors with effect an in-hospital comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) on hip fracture mortality.Population-based, prospective data were collected 1425 consecutive patients aged ≥65 in a central hospital providing orthogeriatric service. Outcome was mortality at 1 month after associated receiving versus not CGA.Of CGA compared to those who did not, 8.5% versus12.0% had died within (P = .028). In age- and sex-adjusted Cox proportional hazards...
