Key result
Higher motor FIM scores (OR 1.14) and the presence of cohabiting family members (OR 1.35) were identified as independent factors promoting discharge to home in very old patients with proximal femoral fractures.

Motor function and family support are critical determinants for discharging very elderly patients with proximal femoral fractures to their homes.
FIM motor independence and family cohabitation were associated with home discharge; hypothesis-generating for prospective trials before practice change.

Iwase et al. (2017) conducted an observational in Proximal femoral fractures (n=47). Motor FIM score vs. Lower motor FIM score was evaluated on Discharge to home (OR 1.14, 95% CI 1.02-1.27, p=0.019). Higher motor FIM scores (OR 1.14) and the presence of cohabiting family members (OR 1.35) were identified as independent factors promoting discharge to home in very old patients with proximal femoral fractures.
