Abstract

Objective: to identify the main clinical, functional and cognitive characteristics of elderly patients admitted at the Hospital Universitario de León with hip fracture, and to analyze the influence on the recovery process of their type of living environment after discharge from hospital. Methods: a preliminary transversal descriptive study that analyzed the physiological characteristics of elderly patients who were hospitalized due to hip fracture diagnosis in the Hospital de León. To this aim, >75-year-old patients were selected, who had been hospitalized due to hip fracture. The health status of patients was assessed at admission and six weeks after hospital discharge. Results: thirty-eight (38) elderly persons were included. All patients who underwent surgery experienced a significant loss of functionality regarding their basal situation (own home p< 0.009; the home of relatives p< 0.024; geriatric institution p< 0.018). The number of comorbidities presented by patients was 3.7, and this was an additional problem that complicated further the recovery process. The patients with a worse walking ability six weeks after hospital discharge were those transferred to a geriatric institution, with a significant difference in comparison with those transferred to the home of a relative (p< 0.023). Conclusions: those patients transferred to a geriatric institution after hip fracture surgery presented worse walking abilities at six weeks after hospital discharge.
