Hip fractures in a city in Northern Norway over 15 years : time trends, seasonal variation and mortality The Harstad Injury Prevention Study
Introduction The aim of the present population-based study was to describe age- and sex-specific incidence of hip fractures in a Northern Norwegian city, compare rates with the Norwegian capital Oslo, describe time trends in hip fracture incidence, place of injury, seasonal variation and compare mor...
