Persistent depressive symptoms may hinder recovery after hip fracture in older women; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective confirmation before guiding care.

Structured PICO

Do persistently elevated depressive symptoms impair physical recovery in older females after hip fracture?

P
Population
196 older White females followed for 12 months after hip fracture
I
Intervention
Persistently elevated depressive symptoms (measured by CES-D scale)
C
Comparator
Consistently reporting few depressive symptoms
O
Outcome
Ambulation, overall physical function, and return to prefracture physical function 12 months after fracturepatient reported

Persistently elevated depressive symptoms significantly hinder physical recovery and ambulation in older women following hip fracture.
