The Copenhagen Burnout Inventory was developed to overcome what some authors have proposed as potential limitations of existing burnout measures. Specifically, the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory measures the main component of burnout (i.e. exhaustion) in three domains: personal-, work- and patient-related. Additionally, some authors have argued the necessity to have available a global burnout index. ⋯ The Copenhagen Burnout Inventory is a psychometrically valid measure of burnout that allows for exploratory studies on the overall level of exhaustion, thus making it possible the comparison between groups in a way that is not restricted to occupation specific aspects.

Proximal femoral fractures are an important public health problem in industrialized societies. There are few studies that evaluate the incidence of this type of fracture in Portugal. The aim of this study was to analyze and interpret epidemiological trends of proximal femoral fractures in the elderly population in Portugal between 2005 and 2013. ⋯ The global number of proximal femoral fractures in Portugal showed a trend of increase between 2005 - 2013, affecting a significant percentage of the Portuguese population over 65 years of age, especially in females and progressively older individuals.
