Interviews followed a topic guide, recorded and transcribed per word. Thematic analysis was used to identify themes in the data.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Setting and participants<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Patients were retrospectively identified from the electronic patient record. Relatives (proxies) of the patients who underwent palliative, non-operative management were contacted and were asked to participate in a semistructured interview and were named participants. The participants were proxies of the patients since patients were expected to be deceased during the timing of the interview.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 26 patients were considered eligible for inclusion in this study. The median age of the patients was 88 years (IQR 83\u201394). The 90-day mortality rate was 92.3%, with a median palliative care period of 11 days (IQR 4\u201326). A total of 19 participants were subjected to the interview. After thematic analysis, four recurring themes were identified: (1) the decision-making process, (2) pain experience, (3) patient\u2013relative interaction and (4) the active dying.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>With the introduction of shared decision-making in an acute setting for geriatric patients with hip fracture, proxies reported palliative, non-operative management as an acceptable and adequate option for patients with high risk of adverse outcomes after surgery. The emerged themes in palliative care for patients with hip fracture show great similarity with severe end-stage disease palliative care, with pain identified as the most important factor influencing comfort of the patient and their environment after hip fracture. Future research should focus on further improving targeted analgesia for these patients focusing on acute pain caused by the fracture.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjopen-2022-063007","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,10]],"date-time":"2022-08-10T11:25:47Z","timestamp":1660130747000},"page":"e063007","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["Proxy-reported experiences of palliative, non-operative management of geriatric patients after a hip fracture: a qualitative study"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6893-4403","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Thomas Marcus Paulus","family":"Nijdam","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, St Antonius Ziekenhuis Locatie Utrecht, Utrecht, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Duco Willem Pieter Marie","family":"Laane","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, St Antonius Ziekenhuis Locatie Utrecht, Utrecht, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jelle Friso","family":"Spierings","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, St Antonius Ziekenhuis Locatie Utrecht, Utrecht, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Henk Jan","family":"Schuijt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, St Antonius Ziekenhuis Locatie Utrecht, Utrecht, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Diederik Pieter Johan","family":"Smeeing","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, St Antonius Ziekenhuis Locatie Utrecht, Utrecht, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Detlef","family":"van der Velde","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, St Antonius Ziekenhuis Locatie Utrecht, Utrecht, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025121602330205000_12.8.e063007.1","article-title":"Functional recovery after hip fracture","volume":"68","author":"Jette","year":"1987","journal-title":"Arch Phys Med Rehabil"},{"key":"2025121602330205000_12.8.e063007.2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"173","DOI":"10.1177\/2151458517713821","article-title":"Hip fractures in elderly people: surgery or no surgery?
