The evidence is limited regarding the association between socioeconomic status and the clinical outcome among patients with hip fracture. In this nationwide, population-based cohort study, higher education and higher family income were associated with a substantially lower 30-day mortality and risk of unplanned readmission after hip fracture.We examined the association between socioeconomic status and 30-day mortality, acute readmission, quality of in-hospital care, time to surgery and length of hospital stay among patients with hip fracture.This is a nationwide, population-based cohort study using prospectively collected data from the Danish Multidisciplinary Hip Fracture Registry. We identified 25,354 patients ae 65 years admitted with a hip fracture between 2010 and 2013 at Danish hospitals. Individual-level socioeconomic status included highest obtained education, family mean income, cohabiting status and migrant status. We performed multilevel regression analysis, controlling for potential confounders.Hip fracture patients with higher education had a lower 30-day mortality risk compared to patients with low education (7.3 vs 10.0% adjusted odds ratio (OR) = 0.74 (95% confidence interval (CI) (0.63-0.88)). The highest level of family income was also associated with lower 30-day mortality (11.9 vs 13.0% adjusted OR = 0.77, 95% CI 0.69-0.85). Cohabiting status and migrant status were not associated with 30-day mortality in the adjusted analysis. Furthermore, patients with both high education and high income had a lower risk of acute readmission (14.5 vs 16.9% adjusted OR = 0.94, 95% CI 0.91-0.97). Socioeconomic status was, however, not associated with quality of in-hospital care, time to surgery and length of hospital stay.Higher education and higher family income were associated with substantially lower 30-day mortality and risk of readmission after hip fracture.
