A new mobility score for predicting mortality after hip fracture.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We assessed 882 patients presenting with a proximal femoral fracture by a new mobility score and by a mental test score, to determine which was of the most value in forecasting mortality at one year. Both scores gave a highly significant prediction, but the mobility score had a greater predictive value and is easier to perform.

Use of Almelo Hip Fracture Score to predict early mortality following hip fracture surgery.
We thank Fu-Shan Xue et al. for their valuable comments in the ‘Letter to Editor’ [1], written in response to our original article concerning the Almelo Hip Fracture Score [2]. In this reply we would like to clarify several issues appointed in their article. Hip fractures are common in elderly patients.

متن کاملRoutine functional assessment for hip fracture patients
Background and purpose - Pre-fracture functional level has been shown to be a consistent predictor of rehabilitation outcomes in older hip fracture patients. We validated 4 overall pre-fracture functional level assessment instruments in patients aged 65 or more, used the prediction of outcome at 4 months post-fracture, and assessed cutoff values for decision making in treatment and rehabilitati...
متن کاملSernbo score predicts survival after intracapsular hip fracture in the elderly
INTRODUCTION The Sernbo score uses four factors (age, social situation, mobility and mental state) to divide patients into a high-risk and a low-risk group. This study sought to assess the use of the Sernbo score in predicting mortality after an intracapsular hip fracture. METHODS A total of 259 patients with displaced intracapsular hip fractures were included in the study. Data from prospect...
متن کاملThe basic mobility status upon acute hospital discharge is an independent risk factor for mortality up to 5 years after hip fracture surgery
Background and purpose - Mortality rates following hip fracture (HF) surgery are high. We evaluated the influence of the basic mobility status on acute hospital discharge to 1- and 5-year mortality rates after HF. Patients and methods - 444 patients with HF ≥60 years (mean age 81 years, 77% women) being pre-fracture ambulatory and admitted from their own homes, were consecutively included in an...
