This study examines interrelations between gains of Norton Scale Score (NSS) and functional outcome measured by Functional Independence Measurement (FIM) among older hip fracture patients.
Retrospective study.
We examined 227 patients consecutively hospitalized in a geriatric postacute rehabilitation ward. The data were collected during 2012-2017. Data were analysed using Student's t test, chi-square test, Pearson's correlation coefficient and linear regression.
Patients with positive NSS gains demonstrated statistically significant higher total FIM, motor FIM and total FIM gain scores at hospital discharge, compared with patients showing no NSS gains or negative NSS. Multiple regression analysis indicated that positive NSS gains were independently predictive for higher total FIM and motor FIM scores at hospital discharge and higher motor FIM gains at discharge.
Our results suggest that positive NSS gains are associated with higher FIM scores at hospital discharge and may assist in predicting the functional outcome of hospitalized older hip fracture patients.
本研究旨在探讨老年髋部骨折患者诺顿量表评分（NSS）的增益与功能独立性测量（FIM）测量的功能结果之间的相互关系。
回顾性研究。
我们连续检查了 2012 年至 2017 年期间在老年康复病房住院的 227 名患者。使用学生 t 检验、卡方检验、皮尔逊相关系数和线性回归分析数据。
与无 NSS 增益或 NSS 负增益的患者相比，NSS 增益为阳性的患者在出院时的总 FIM、运动 FIM 和总 FIM 增益评分具有统计学意义的显著升高。多元回归分析表明，NSS 增益为阳性可独立预测出院时的总 FIM 和运动 FIM 评分更高，以及出院时的运动 FIM 增益更高。
我们的研究结果表明，NSS 增益为阳性与出院时更高的 FIM 评分相关，并可能有助于预测住院老年髋部骨折患者的功能结果。
