Is there a weekend effect in hip fracture patients presenting to a United Kingdom teaching hospital?

Figure 5 Requirement for accompaniment outside in hip fracture patients significantly influenced 30-d (P = 0. 033) and 120-d mortality (P = 0.033). At 30 d, patients who are wheelchair bound, bedbound or do not go outside have a higher risk of death than those requiring no accompaniment outdoors, at 30 d and 120 d. In addition, patients requiring accompaniment outdoors have a higher at 30-d mortality than those who do not (P = 0.015), but this difference is abolished by 120 d (P = 0.423). Percentages are expressed as mean. All P-values derived from logistic regression model.
