Why the study?
Do depression and cognitive impairment affect rehabilitation participation and recovery in elderly patients with hip fracture?
Do depression and cognitive impairment affect rehabilitation participation and recovery in elderly patients with hip fracture?
Depression and cognitive impairment negatively impact hip fracture rehabilitation outcomes by reducing patient participation in rehabilitation.
May warrant screening for depression and cognition in hip fracture rehab; leaves open whether interventions improve participation and outcomes.
Depression and cognitive impairment are predictive of negative outcomes in elderly patients' rehabilitation from hip fracture. This effect is mediated by rehabilitation participation, and ratings in this area may serve as a potentially useful clinical and research tool for the rehabilitation environment.
