Discharge after hip fracture surgery in relation to mobilisation timing by patient characteristics: Linked secondary analysis of the UK National Hip Fracture Database
Early mobilisation leads to a two-fold increase in the adjusted odds of discharge by 30-days compared to late mobilisation. Whether this association varies by patient characteristics identified as reasons for delayed mobilisation is unknown. Methods: Audit data was linked to hospitalisation records for 133,319 patients 60 years or older surgically treated for hip fracture in England or Wales between 2014 and 2016.
