“…In the control group, one person fractured two hips, making a total of 38 hip fractures in the study. Compliance changed from 61% after 1 month until 37% after 12 months [10]. Four persons in the intervention group were wearing the hip protector while fracturing the hip.…”

“…At this visit, the participant was checked to see if he/she was wearing the hip protector and was interviewed about hip protector use. 28 In addition, at the end of each period of the fall and fracture calendar (1 period is 3 months), participants were asked whether they were wearing the hip protectors when they fell.…”

“…13,[15][16][17][18]21,28 Compliance was aided by newsletters, which emphasized points such as the importance of wearing hip protectors at night. In addition, the unannounced visits may have had a small positive effect because noncompliant participants were encouraged to wear hip protectors at the end of the visit.…”

ContextSeveral randomized controlled trials have been performed to examine the effectiveness of external hip protectors in reducing the incidence of hip fractures, but the results are controversial.ObjectiveTo examine the effectiveness of hip protectors in reducing the incidence of hip fractures in an elderly high-risk population.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsRandomized controlled trial of elderly persons aged 70 years or older, who have low bone density, and are at high risk for falls. Participants lived in apartment houses for the elderly, homes for the elderly, and nursing homes in Amsterdam and surrounding areas in the Netherlands. They were enrolled in the study between March 1999 and March 2001; the mean follow-up was 69.6 weeks. Of the 830 persons who were screened, 561 persons were enrolled.InterventionExternal hip protector. Both groups received written information on bone health and risk factors for falls.Main Outcome MeasureTime to first hip fracture. Survival analysis was used to include all participants for the time they participated.ResultsIn the intervention group, 18 hip fractures occurred vs 20 in the control group. Four hip fractures in the intervention group occurred while an individual was wearing a hip protector. At least 4 hip fractures in the intervention group occurred late at night or early in the morning. Both in univariate analysis (log-rank P = .86) and in multivariate analysis (hazard ratio [HR], 1.05; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.55-2.03), no statistically significant difference between the intervention group and control group was found with regard to time to first hip fracture. In addition, the per protocol analysis in compliant participants did not show a statistically significant difference between the groups (HR, 0.77; 95% CI, 0.25-2.38).ConclusionThe hip protector studied was not effective in preventing hip fractures.

This report is HEN's response to a question from a decision-maker. It provides a synthesis of the best available evidence, including a summary of the main findings and policy options related to the issue. Fall prevention programmes can be effective in reducing the number of people who fall and the rate of falls. Targeted strategies aimed at behavioural change and risk modification for those living in the community appear to be most promising. Multifactorial intervention programmes that include risk factor assessment and screening have been shown to be effective. However, no screening tools have been rigorously validated across countries and further work is needed in this area.HEN, initiated and coordinated by the WHO Regional Office for Europe, is an information service for public health and health care decision-makers in the WHO European Region. Other interested parties might also benefit from HEN.
