Variable life-adjusted display (VLAD) for hip fracture patients: a prospective trial.PURPOSE
 VLAD provides a visual plot in real time of the difference between the cumulative expected mortality and the actual death occurring.  A VLAD plot was then produced comparing the predicted with the actual 30-day mortality.


 This was reflected by a positive trend on the VLAD plot.

The Nottingham Hip Fracture Score (NHFS) is a well-validated tool in predicting 30-day mortality in hip fractures. 
Nottingham Hip Fracture Score (NHFS)
We prospectively included every hip fracture admitted to UHW that underwent surgery from January-August 2014.
