Prediction of Rehabilitation after Hip Fracture

MARTYN J. PARKER and CHRISTOPHER R. PALMER

Six hundred and forty-three consecutive patients admitted from their own home with a hip fracture were studied to determine which factors would predict patients' abilities to continue living at home. At 1 year from injury 22% of patients had died, 14% were in long-term residential care and the remaining 65% were living at home. The pre-fracture mobility of the patients was the most significant factor in predicting ability to continue to live at home, but also significant were mental state, physical health, age and type of fracture.
