Dataset for "Machine learning outperforms clinical experts in classification of hip fractures"
Hip fractures are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the elderly, and incur high health and social care costs. Given projected population ageing, the number of incident hip fractures is predicted to increase globally. As fracture classification strongly determines the chosen surgical treatment, differences in fracture classification influence patient outcomes and treatment costs. We aimed to create a machine learning method for identifying and classifying hip fractures, and to compare its performance to experienced human observers. We used 3659 hip radiographs, classified by at least two expert clinicians. The machine learning method was able to classify hip fractures with 19% greater accuracy than humans, achieving overall accuracy of 92%.
This data set contains the source data for figures 2 and 4, which are the main Results figures. Data are given in both csv and MAT file formats. The MATLAB scripts for generating the figures are also provided.

UK, Southwest, Bath & Bristol
Documentation
Data collection method:
Machine learning recognition of the hip joint in antero-posterior (AP) pelvis x-rays. Identification and classification of hip fractures using machine learning. Anonymised x-rays were obtained, with ethical approval, from North Bristol NHS Trust and the Royal United Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.
Technical details and requirements:
The Caffe 1.0 machine learning system was used to generate the machine learning algorithms. MATLAB (version 2017) was used to process training and test data, and to analyse output.
Additional information:
The data is organised clearly into the source data for each figure.
