Study on the level of daily living function and its influencing factors in elderly patients after hip fracture surgery

OBJECTIVE To analyze the short-term prognosis of elderly patients with hip fracture after operation, and to explore the main factors affecting the recovery of daily life function. METHODS From November 2015 to November 2016, 130 elderly patients with hip fracture were analyzed, including 43 males and 87 females, aged from 60 to 95 (77.54±8.49) years. The death, fall and complications were recorded 3 months after operation. The daily life function of the patients was followed up 3 months after operation with the functional recovery of daily life scale (FRS). T-test, analysis of variance and single factor linear regression analysis were used to analyze the general clinical data. The factors with P<0.05 were analyzed by multi factor linear regression method, and the influencing factors of postoperative ADL were obtained. RESULTS Among 130 patients, 7 died (5.4%), 4 fell (3.1%), 103 (79.2%) had postoperative complications, and the FRS score of 123 patients was 65.92±22.79. The results showed that gender, age, fracture site, pre fracture Basel rating, frailty index, postoperative hospital stay and total number of postoperative complications had significant differences in the recovery of daily life function (P<0.05);multiple linear regression analysis showed that pre fracture Basel rating (t=-2.727, P=0.007), frailty index (t=-2.573, P=0.011) and postoperative hospital stay had significant differences. The days of hospital stay (t=-3.391, P=0.001) and the total number of postoperative complications (t=-3.281, P=0.001) were the independent risk factors for postoperative ADL in elderly patients with hip fracture (R2=0.411). CONCLUSION The short term rehabilitation level of elderly patients with hip fracture after operation is poor. Basel rating before fracture, frailty index, postoperative hospital stay and total number of postoperative complications may be related risk factors affecting the recovery of daily life function of patients after operation.
