Key result
Older age, longer hospital stays, rehospitalization, cognitive deficits, and depressive symptoms predicted poorer functional recovery one year after hip fracture, while social contact aided recovery.
Cohort (n=536)
Yes
Psychosocial factors, cognitive status, and hospital stay length are key predictors of functional recovery one year after hip fracture in older adults.

May inform post-hip fracture risk stratification; hypothesis-generating for targeted interventions, requiring RCTs before practice change.
Magaziner et al. (1990) conducted a cohort in Hip fracture (n=536). Clinical and psychosocial factors (age, length of stay, rehospitalization, cognitive/depressive symptoms, social network contact) was evaluated on Recovery in walking ability, PADLs, and IADLs. Older age, longer hospital stays, rehospitalization, cognitive deficits, and depressive symptoms predicted poorer functional recovery one year after hip fracture, while social contact aided recovery.
