Predictive factors for home discharge after femoral fracture surgery: a prospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Femoral fractures require protracted hospitalization and often preclude return to pre-fracture levels of mobility, function and prior residential status following hospital discharge. Early prediction of rehabilitation and discharge potential in patients with femoral fracture would optimize discharge planning.

Aim

To identify predictive factors of discharge destination during the early phase of femoral fracture rehabilitation.

Design

Prospective cohort design.

Setting

Acute and postoperative rehabilitation hospital settings.

Population

Data from 109 participants (65 women [59.6%]) admitted for unilateral femoral fracture were included.

Methods

Sociodemographic information, hip pain severity during gait (Numeric Pain Rating Scale), mobili
