Key result
Not completing physiotherapy on the first post-operative day significantly predicted failure to regain basic mobility by the fifth post-operative day (OR 4.6) and at discharge (OR 3.3).
Population
167 patients who underwent hip fracture surgery, excluding those with compromised ability to exercise.
Design
Cohort
Follow-up
Until discharge

Identified predictors may aid early risk stratification post-hip fracture; leaves open whether targeting modifiable factors improves mobility recovery.

In patients undergoing hip fracture surgery, inability to complete physiotherapy on the first post-operative day, age >80, low prefracture function, and low hemoglobin strongly predict failure to regain basic mobility during hospitalization.
Hulsbæk et al. (2014) conducted a cohort in hip fracture surgery (n=167). Not completing physiotherapy on first post-operative day vs. Completing physiotherapy on first post-operative day was evaluated on Not regaining basic mobility within the fifth post-operative day (OR 4.6, p=0.04 - <0.0001). Not completing physiotherapy on the first post-operative day significantly predicted failure to regain basic mobility by the fifth post-operative day (OR 4.6) and at discharge (OR 3.3).
