| Popis: | Introduction: Osteoporotic hip fractures receiving surgery are common and early rehabilitation is needed in the acute hospital setting. In Singapore, many receive rehabilitation after hip surgery in a tertiary hospital, and various clinical variables may be predictors of functional outcomes. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 68 patients who went through inpatient rehabilitation in Singapore General Hospital. The primary outcomes of this study were to identify predictors which affect Functional Independence Measure (FIM) efficiency and motor FIM gain at discharge. The secondary outcomes include predictors affecting ambulation distance at discharge and rehabilitation length of stay (RLOS). Results: Age, dementia and days from fracture to surgery are important predictors of FIM efficiency; age and FIM efficiency are important predictors of ambulation distance; and type of fracture is an important predictor of RLOS.
