More than half of hip fracture patients fail to regain prefracture mobility within one year, highlighting the need for targeted rehabilitation in high-risk patients.
This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.
The risk not to regain prefracture mobility is highest in mobile patients without an aid. The risk of becoming immobile is higher in those having a lower prefracture mobility. Activities of daily living dependence and delirium were the main risk factors for not regaining mobility.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May inform risk stratification after hip fracture; leaves open whether targeting delirium and ADL dependence improves mobility in trials.
