Six hundred and forty-three consecutive patients admitted from their own home with a hip fracture were studied to determine which factors would predict patients' abilities to continue living at home. At 1 year from injury 22% of patients had died, 14% were in long-term residential care and the remaining 65% were living at home. The pre-fracture mobility of the patients was the most significant factor in predicting ability to continue to live at home, but also significant were mental state, physical health, age and type of fracture.
对643例从家中收治的髋部骨折患者进行了连续研究，以确定哪些因素能够预测患者继续在家中生活的能力。受伤1年后，22%的患者死亡，14%的患者接受长期住院护理，其余65%的患者在家中生活。骨折前患者的活动能力是预测能否继续在家中生活的最重要因素，但精神状态、身体健康状况、年龄和骨折类型也具有重要意义。
