Supports risk stratification for mobility loss after hip fracture but should not change practice; extends observational predictors and warrants prospective validation.
In geriatric patients with fragility hip fractures, better premorbid function, institutionalization, older age, male sex, and lower ASA scores are predictors of mobility deterioration at 1 year.
Wong et al. (2021) studied this question.
