May warrant attention to female caregivers' QoL in hip fracture settings; leaves open causal links and intervention efficacy.
Cross-Sectional (n=123)
Mean Difference: -7.8 (95% CI -13.3–-2.3)

Informal caregivers of elderly patients with a hip fracture provide intensive care and experience significant relational, physical, and mental health problems, particularly female caregivers and partners.
Ree et al. (2018) conducted a cross-sectional in Informal caregiving for hip fracture (n=123). Informal caregiving for hip fracture patients was evaluated on Care-related Quality of Life (CarerQoL-7D score) in female vs male caregivers (β -7.8, 95% CI -13.3 - -2.3, p=0.01). Informal caregivers of elderly patients with a hip fracture reported a mean CarerQoL-7D score of 83.7, with female caregivers experiencing a significantly lower quality of life (β -7.8) compared to males.
