To identify modifiable preoperative factors that might influence the morbidity and mortality associated with non-elective, inpatient hip fracture surgeries in the geriatric surgical population. ⋯ Hip fractures remain a major source of morbidity in geriatric patients. Baseline dementia and inability to sign surgical consent are significant risk factors for adverse outcomes after hip fractures and should be considered in the informed consent process. Data from this study and currently ongoing randomized trials will help guide reductions in morbidity and mortality in this population.

There is little knowledge of rural hospitals' roles in the care of chronic pain patients nationwide in the United States of America. We hypothesized that very few (≅5%) critical access hospitals provide patients with interventional pain procedures performed by pain medicine physicians. ⋯ A very small percentage of critical access hospitals list at their websites that they offer interventional pain services by pain medicine-trained physicians, and most clinicians listed as performing these procedures are not pain medicine certified. Increasing access to pain medicine physicians may present an opportunity for improved pain care in rural communities.
