Evaluated delirium and BPSD longitudinally during hospitalisation in older patients with hip fractures and identified factors associated with improvement in ADL to identify factors influencing functional recovery.
Abstract
In older patients with hip fractures, delirium and behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) during hospitalisation have been reported to impede recovery of activities of daily living (ADL). As delirium and BPSD may fluctuate throughout hospitalisation, improving ADL requires longitudinal assessment of these symptoms and clarification of factors influencing functional recovery. This study aimed to evaluate delirium and BPSD longitudinally during hospitalisation in older patients with hip fractures and identify factors associated with improvement in ADL.
Fracture-associated ADL decline did not clearly vary across Fried scores, and Frailty informed prognosis; functional assessment remained relevant at all scores.

Hip fracture in later life is followed by high mortality, incomplete recovery of mobility, and frequent loss of independence. Sarcopenia and cognitive impairment are common at presentation yet are often assessed and treated as separate determinants of recovery. This narrative review synthesizes evidence on their joint...

Falls are common particularly in elderly people and usually associated with poor prognosis or healing outcomes. Musculoskeletal pain is considered an independent risk factor for falls, by being associated with joint pathology and instability, neuromuscular effects of pain, and changes in cognitive and psychological fun...

Background: Although delirium is an acute confusional state, the available literature identifies impaired activities of daily living (ADL) as a predisposing factor. However, the question of whether ADL is associated with delirium in older patients with heart failure (HF) has not been evaluated. This study investigated...

Abstract Hip fracture is a major cause of morbidity, mortality, and functional decline among older adults. Frailty has emerged as an important prognostic factor in this population, and the Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) offers a rapid and practical method for assessing frailty. This systematic review assessed the prognos...
