American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons Guidelines for Hip Fractures

**Overview**
This data package consists of a summary of the recommendations of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) Clinical Practice Guideline on the Management of Hip Fractures in the Elderly.

**Description**
- Arthroplasty VS Internal Fixation Mortality in Elderly Hip Fractures dataset is a study of the strong evidence that supports arthroplasty for patients with hip fractures like unstable (displaced) femoral neck instead of internal fixation.
- Aspirin or Clopidogrel Early VS Delayed Treatment in Hip Fractures dataset showcases the limited evidence that supports not delaying hip fracture surgery for patients on aspirin and/or clopidogrel.
- Bipolar VS Unipolar Hemiarthroplasty Function in Elderly Hip Fractures dataset shows moderate evidence that supports the outcomes of unipolar and bipolar hemiarthroplasty for hip fractures like unstable (displaced) femoral neck fractures are similar.
- Cemented VS Uncemented Arthroplasty Mortality in Elderly Hip Fractures dataset shows moderate evidence that supports the preferential use of cemented femoral stems in patients undergoing arthroplasty for hip fractures of the femoral neck.
- Cephallomedullary Device VS Sliding Hip Screw Fracture Complications dataset shows moderate evidence that supports using a cephalomedullary device for the treatment of patients with unstable intertrochanteric hip fractures.
- Cephallomedullary Device VS Sliding Hip Screw Fracture Functions dataset shows moderate evidence that supports using a cephalomedullary device for the treatment of patients with unstable intertrochanteric hip fractures.
- Posterior VS Direct Lateral Surgical Approach in Elderly Hip Fractures dataset shows moderate evidence that supports higher dislocation rates with a posterior approach in the treatment of displaced femoral neck fractures with hip arthroplasty.
- Regional Analgesia VS Pain Control Management of Elderly Hip Fractures dataset shows strong evidence that supports regional analgesia versus control or improvement of preoperative pain in patients with hip fracture.
- Spinal VS General Anesthesia Management for Elderly Hip Fractures dataset shows strong evidence that supports similar outcomes for general or spinal anesthesia for patients undergoing hip fracture surgery.
- Traction VS No Traction for Pain Management of Elderly Hip Fractures dataset shows moderate evidence that does not support routine use of preoperative traction for patients with a hip fracture.
- Treatment Studies for Advanced Imaging for Elderly Hip Fractures dataset shows strong evidence that supports the high applicability of advanced imaging for some outcomes in the management of hip fracture in the elderly.
- Treatment Studies for Preoperative Regional Analgesia in Hip Fractures dataset shows strong evidence that supports regional analgesia to improve preoperative pain control in patients with hip fracture.

**Benefits**
- Aaos guideline consists of a systematic review of the available literature regarding the management of hip fractures in the elderly patients (defined as age 65 or older) with hip fractures. the purpose of this guideline is to improve the treatment based on the current best evidence.

- Each dataset goes through 3 levels of quality review
- 2 Manual reviews are done by domain experts
- Then, an automated set of 60+ validations enforces every datum matches metadata & defined constraints
- Data is normalized into one unified type system
- All dates, unites, codes, currencies look the same
- All null values are normalized to the same value
- All dataset and field names are SQL and Hive compliant
- Data and Metadata
- Data is available in both CSV and Apache Parquet format, optimized for high read performance on distributed Hadoop, Spark & MPP clusters
- Metadata is provided in the open Frictionless Data standard, and its every field is normalized & validated
- Data Updates
- Data updates support replace-on-update: outdated foreign keys are deprecated, not deleted

**Our data is curated and enriched by domain experts**

Each dataset is manually curated by our team of doctors, pharmacists, public health & medical billing experts:
- Field names, descriptions, and normalized values are chosen by people who actually understand their meaning
- Healthcare & life science experts add categories, search keywords, descriptions and more to each dataset
- Both manual and automated data enrichment supported for clinical codes, providers, drugs, and geo-locations
- The data is always kept up to date – even when the source requires manual effort to get updates
