Registry FAQs

There are many questions for sites about data collection for the Registry, please see our answers below. If you cannot find the answer you are looking for please get in contact with us.

Admission

Assessment

Treatment

Discharge

Admission

Which patients are eligible to be included in the ANZHFR?

Men and women aged 50 years and over admitted to hospital for management of a fractured proximal femur.

Does the registry include periprosthetic fractures or is it only for people with a primary hip fracture?

What happens if a person presents to a hospital without imaging facilities and is then transferred to a hospital for imaging and then transferred to a third hospital for treatment. Which of the first or second hospitals is the transfer hospital?

A patient has an undiagnosed #NOF on admission and is admitted to a medical unit. They are seen by the Orthopaedic team days later. X-rays taken earlier support a diagnosis of #NOF. From when is delay to the operating theatre measured? And what is the date/time of diagnosis?

Can the preferred ward be an infection control ward?

Assessment

Our hospital doesn't do an AMT Score. In terms of cognition screening we preform the RUDAS (Rowlands universal dementia assessment screen), or the ACE3 (Addenbrookes cognition examination) and I'm wondering how I can enter that into the data base because it doesn't exactly match up with the scores that are provided for the AMT score.

Leave the field blank. This field will be reviewed in 2016 to reflect appropriate cognitive screening tools.

Treatment

How much data is entered for patients who are not treated by surgery? And are they followed up at 30 and 120 days?

Patients managed conservatively have all available data fields completed and are also followed up at 30 and 120 days. Data fields relating to surgery are “hidden” by the registry.

Is a nerve block recorded in the Anaesthesia data field or solely in the Analgesia data field if it was performed preoperatively?

The patient was given a combination of a general anaesthetic and a femoral nerve block in the operating theatre. How is this recorded?

How are combination anaesthetics recorded in the database? Eg an anaesthetic which combines general and spinal.

Is the Queensland Health Falls Assessment and Management Plan enough to qualify for a specialist falls assessment as per the ANZHFR data field?.

The patient is given the opportunity to mobilise on day 1, but didn't due to a patient dependant reason. Must the patient get out of bed or just be given the opportunity to mobilise?

How is 'bone protection medication at discharge' recorded if medication has been prescribed but not commenced at discharge?

If the person has been discharged before commencing the medication, data will be recorded as “no bone protection medication”. Documentation that the medication is recommended does not satisfy requirements for medication having commenced at discharge. If they are recommencing a previously prescribed medication prior to discharge then it would be recorded as “yes” in the relevant category.

Most of our patients are discharged with a recommendation for bispohosphonate (oral or IV) strontium, denosumab or teriparitide (with or without calcium and/or vitamin D) to commence at 3 months. How is this recorded?

Discharge

A person is discharged with HITH (Hospital In The Home) services. How is the discharge status recorded?

The option that best describes the environment in which the service is provided. It is most likely to be the “private residence”.

How do I record the date of discharge from the acute / orthopaedic ward? The patient may be discharged to rehabilitation however wait several days to be transferred because there are no available beds, or they are statistically 'type changed'.

How do I record the date of final discharge from hospital system?

If the patient leaves the hospital directly from the acute ward then the date recorded is the same as the acute / orthopaedic ward discharge date. If the patient is transferred to rehabilitation, then the date they leave from rehabilitation is the date recorded. If the patient is transferred to rehabilitation outside your hospital campus/health district, it may not be possible to determine the date they leave the hospital system. In this case the date is left blank.
