Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Does orthogeriatric co-management improve the outcome of long-term care residents with fragility fractures?
Answer: Despite the generally poor outcomes for fragility fracture patients residing in long-term care facilities, orthogeriatric co-management appears to improve the outcome of high-risk fragility fracture patients. One-year mortality was 29.4 % in this cohort, significantly lower than in comparable trials. Orthogeriatric co-management may also have positive impacts on both functional outcome and the risk of subsequent fractures.
Output (English): yes
