摘要
Introduction Although the overall quality of medicine has improved in recent decades, the functional capacity in many hip fracture patients remains insufficient. The goal of the present study was to identify significant predictors of Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL) measured by the Lawton-Brody scale at 3- and 6-month follow-up in patients with hip fractures admitted to a hospital. Methods This observational cohort study included 191 patients with acute hip fractures. IADL was measured at baseline and after 3 and 6 months using the Lawton-Brody scale. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was carried out using pre-fracture functional status, sociodemographic variables, hand grip strength (HGS), surgical procedure, complications, and length of hospital stay, Short Physical Performance Battery, and Barthel Index (BI) on the fifth postoperative day as potential predictors for IADL after a hip fracture surgery. Results The mean age of the participants was 80.3 ± 6.8 years, and 77.0% of our cohort were women. Multivariate regression analysis revealed that pre-fracture functional status and early functional recovery were independent predictors of IADL after hip fracture surgery. Conclusions Clinicians should take steps to improve functional outcomes by changing how patients are rehabilitated in the first days after hip fracture surgery, especially for the group of patients with a lower functional status before the fracture.
