متن کاملIs global quality of life reduced before fracture in patients with low-energy wrist or hip fracture? A comparison with matched controls
BACKGROUND The aims of the study were (i) to examine global quality of life (GQOL) before fracture in patients with low-energy wrist or hip fracture compared with an age- and sex-matched control group, and (ii) to identify relationships between demographic variables, clinical fracture variables, and health- and global-focused quality of life (QOL) prior to fracture. METHODS Patients with a lo...
